44
Q

massage moves

A

Stroking- hand over hand technique
Effleurage- hands going opposite directions gliding movement done with palms
Compression- flat hand with rhythmic pressure (CRP)
Kneading – motion where its like kneading bread
Muscle squeezing- done along the neck
Wringing- when palms move up to meet fingertips
clapping- flat side of hand

45
Q

Function of circulatory system

A
  • oxygen, regulates body temp, removes waste, provides nutrition
46
Q

Order of blood circulation

A

-aorta (o2 leaves)-
arteries (carry o2)-
arterials-
capillaries(end game where o2 goes to get dispersed)- venule-
- veins
- venacava
- Right atrium (deoxygenated blood goes in)
- lung (oxygenates the blood)
- pulmonary artery
- pulmonary vein (takes the newly oxygenated blood back to the heart)

47
Q

Pulmonary artery

A

– rest and digest response nerves exit the upper cervical lumbar spine

56
Q

Central nervous system

A

A
  • they are numbered by the vertebra UNDER it (Occiput C1 nerve then C1 vertebra, C2 nerve C2 vertebra)
62
Q
