conduction convection condensatioin radiation evaporation
circulatory system consists of
blood, lymph, blood/lymphatic vessels/heart
what makes up ANS what does it control?
parts of brain(hypothalamus), spinal cord, peripheral nerves
controls, regulates, checks conditions in body (temperature/Hr/BP)
physiological effects of hydrotherapy
vasodilation
vasoconstriction
deviation
depletion (retrostasis)
explain reaction in nervous system when pin prick on skin
sensory receptor stimulated impulse travels to spinal cord cord to cord (back to front) motor response sent muscle moves/contracts
healing crisis
acute reaction where vital force of body is on offensive and able to overcome toxic manifestations of the disease
disease crisis
acute state where disease factors are in ascendancy and are overwhelming resistance of vital force of body which is on the defensive
