Question 1

Acute inflammation is a local response of the tissues that have been damaged in a certain region of the body.

Answer 1

T

Question 2

Radiation burn, sun burn, and incisions are all examples of trauma.

Answer 2

T

Question 3

Edema that results from the inflammatory process is poor in protein.

Answer 3

F

Question 4

The negative effects of swelling in trauma is due to the increased diffusion distance inside the cells.

Answer 4

F

Question 5

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is not beneficial for traumatic edema since there is no protein accumulation.

Answer 5

F

Question 6

There are no blood vessels in the joint cartilage; cartilage is living tissue, and receives nutrients from the synovial fluid.

Answer 6

T

Question 7

Lymphostatic Encephalopathy is a disorder of the lymph drainage from the intra- and extra-dural areas that may result in head and neck lymphedema (HNL).

Answer 7

T

Question 8

50% of the intra-dural drainage drains along the fibers of the olfactory nerve, through the cribriform plate, and to the mucus membrane of the nasal cavity.

Answer 8

T

Question 9

Compression for facial swelling is opposite from compression of the extremities because gravity assists drainage during the day (compression is more important at night time).

Answer 9

T

Question 10

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) techniques cannot be used for the treatment of wounds.

Answer 10

F

Question 11

Acute traumatic edema results from a mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system.

Answer 11

F

Question 12

A chronic inflammation can decrease the Transport Capacity (TC) of the lymphatic system over a prolonged period of time and result in a lymphangitis or a lymphadenitis.

Answer 12

T

Question 13

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease following an infection with streptococci bacteria.

Answer 13

T

Question 14

The extra-dural drainage happens through the sutures of the skull to the lymph vessels of the scalp.

Answer 14

T

Question 15

Answer 15

F

Question 16

Answer 16

Cyclic Idiopathic Edema

Question 17

Which of the following is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

Question 21

Which equipment uses infrared light transmitters to determine the circumferential measurements of an extremity?

Answer 21

Perometers

Question 22

The negative effects of swelling in trauma include:

Answer 22

a) Decreased supply of oxygen and nutrients to traumatized area
b) Decreased transport of basic substances needed for tissue healing
c) Irritation of nociceptors (pain receptors)

Question 23

A lymphadenitis is:

Answer 23

An inflammation of lymph nodes

Question 24

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD):

Answer 24

a) Is an abnormal response of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
b) Causes localized inflammation accompanied by morphological changes in soft tissue, nerves, bones, joints, and disturbances in the local blood supply
c) Is more commonly seen in upper extremities
