Q

What are the components of a Neuron?

A
  1. Cell Body - contains the nucleus
  2. Dendrites - receiving input part of neuron
  3. Axon - conducts nerve impulse toward other neurons, a muscle cell, or a gland. (outgoing)

22
Q

How many pairs of Cranial Nerves are there?

A

12

23
Q

What are the signals called that are going to the spinal cord or brain?

A

Afferent

A-Approch

24
Q

What are the signals called that are carried away from the CNS?

A

Efferent

E-Exit

25
Q

Peripheral Nervous System

A

Is divided into 2 sections:
Somatic
Autonomic

26
Q

Somatic

A

Relating to or affecting the body as distinguished from the mind. (Voluntary)

27
Q

Autonomic

A

Innervates with smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, and glands.

28
Q

Sympathetic

A

Fight or Flight

29
Q

Parasympathetic

A

Rest and Digest

30
Q

Brain

A

One of the largest organs in the body

31
Q

Signals or nerve impulses that follow specific one-way routes to and from the CNS are called?

A

Neuronal Pathways

32
Q

What is the role of the Muscle Spindle?

A

Measure muscle length

33
Q

What is the role of the Golgi Tendon Organs?

A

Measure muscle tension

34
Q

What is the role of the Joint Kinesthetic receptors?

A

Joint position and movement

35
Q

Receptors that detect many different types of stimuli both within the body and outside the body

A

Sensory function

36
Q

Integrates sensory information by analyzing and storing and by making decisions for appropriate responses.

A

Integrative functions

37
Q

Muscular contraction or glandular secretion. Motor neurons carry information AWAY from the brain towards the spinal cord. (Efferent)

A

Motor Function

38
Q

Gate Control Theory

A
  1. Pain signals travel to the CNS slower then Somatic sensations.
  2. Therefore, touch impulses reach the spinal cord before the pain impulses.
  3. The faster the touch impulses can then block the pain impulses thus decreasing the sensation of pain.
39
Q

Clinical connection of Nervous System

A
  1. Massage enhances the development and growth of nervous tissue especially in newborn children.
  2. Massage increases the production and release of a number of neurotransmitters and other substances from the nervous tissue that facilitate homeostasis.
40
Q

Nervous System Comparison

A
  1. Communicates by means of electrical impulses
  2. Reacts quickly to stimuli.
  3. Has relatively local and specific effects on target organs
  4. Adapts quickly to continual stimuli
41
Q

Pathologies: Multiple Scierosis

A

Indicated

Cautions: May need to adjust pressure and pace of massage.

42
Q

Pathologies: Meningitis

A

Contraindicated

43
Q

Pathologies: Bell Palsy

A

Indicated

44
Q

Pathologies: Stroke

A

Indicated

Cautions: As long as no other cardio vascular issues are present.

45
Q

Pathologies: Fibromyalgia

A

Indicated

Cautions: Lighter more gentler work, nothing to taxing.
