lecture 2 Flashcards
hot n cold
What are 5 mechanisms of heat exchange
Conduction
Convection
Conversion
Radiation
Evaporation
What is the definition of convection heating
- transference of heat to a body by the movement of air, matter, or liquid around or past the body. E.g., Whirlpool (hot or cool)
Which part of the brain gets signaled from hot and cold receptors, initiating shivering or sweating (temperature regulation)
Hypothalamus
Two examples of deep heating modalities?
Ultrasound, shockwave, hot packs, sauna
How deep do deep heating modalities penetrate
3-5 cm
What is vigorous heating temps
40°C to 45°C
What is the temperature of the hydrocollator
71°C to 77°C
How does heat decrease pain and spasm
increasing blood flow, relaxing tight muscles, and improving flexibility (reducing GTO’s becoming inhibitory)
Contraindications for heat and ice
Heat: acutely inflamed, open sores/wounds,
Cold: cold sensitivity
What are the signs of cold sensitivities
Reynaud’s disease, high heart rate, hives
Why heat vs cold
Both for every condition except acute inflammation use cold
What is the name of the proteins that are created under heat (or cold stress) and act as chaperones to make sure other proteins are unfolded correctly
HSP (heat shock proteins)
At what temperature do HSPs get produced
When internal temp is around 40 degrees Celsius
What temperature can cause hypothermia?
35°C
What does the acronym CBAN stand for
- C: Cold
- B: Burning
- A: Aching
- N: Numbness
what is ?????
induction vs capacitance
