Thermotherapy

Question 1

humans are blank because we maintain our core temp at a constant

Answer 1

endotherms (thermal homeostasis)

Question 2

warmest part of our body

Answer 2

core

Question 3

movement of molecules related to temp of a subject

Answer 3

thermal kinetic energy

Question 4

energy of position where molecules are attracted to each other

Answer 4

thermal potential energy

Question 5

potential energy does not change unless the blank changes

Answer 5

phase

Question 6

phase changes occur without a change in blank

Answer 6

temperature

Question 7

amount of heat required to convert a certain unit of a solid into a similar unit of a liquid without changing temperature

Answer 7

latent heat of fusion

Question 8

energy cant be created nor destroyed

Answer 8

first law of thermodynamics

Question 9

amount of energy required to raise temp of material by a given number of degrees

Answer 9

specific heat

Question 10

it takes blank energy to increase temperature paraffin and bone than to increase temp of water and skin

Answer 10

less

Question 11

high specific heat requires blank energy to increase in temperature

Answer 11

high

Question 12

water at same temp as paraffin would cause a blank

Answer 12

burn

Question 13

five modes of heat transfer

Answer 13

conduction, convection, conversion, radiation, evaporation

Question 14

exchange of energy between two materials at different temps due to direct collision between molecules of materials

Answer 14

conduction

subcutaneous tissues are heated by blank through adjacent layers

Answer 15

conduction

Question 16

metal has a blank thermal conductivity

Answer 16

high

Question 17

transfer of heat as the result of direct contact between a circulating medium and another material of a different temp

Answer 17

convection

Question 18

blank transfers energy better than blank

Answer 18

convection, conduction

Question 19

a blank is an example of convection

Answer 19

whirlpool, blood

Question 20

converting a non thermal form of energy into heat

Answer 20

conversion

Question 21

heat transfer conversion like ultrasound and friction

Answer 21

mechanical

Question 22

heat transfer conversion like acid to metal

Answer 22

chemical

Question 23

conversion does not require blank but does require a good blank

Answer 23

direct contact, conductor

Question 24

direct transfer of energy without direct contact or intervening medium

Answer 24

radiation

Question 25

heat transfer where material must absorb energy before it can change from liquid to gas

Answer 25

evaporation

Question 26

thermotherapy can destroy blank tissue growth

Answer 26

malignant

Question 27

application of heat causes an increase in the diameter of blood vessels and thus an increase in the rate of blood flow… this is called blank and is a blank effect of thermotherapy

Answer 27

vasodilation, hemodynamic

Question 28

thermotherapy blank sympathetic activity and a blank of smooth muscle contraction

Answer 28

inhibition, reduction

Question 29

increased blood flow removes heat via blank

Answer 29

convection

Question 30

thermotherapy increases blank conduction velocity

Answer 30

nerve

Question 31

thermotherapy results in blank strength for 30 minutes after heating

Answer 31

decreased

Question 32

thermotherapy results in fewer blank over time

Answer 32

strength gains

Question 33

thermotherapy increases endothermic chemical blank

Answer 33

reaction rate

Question 34

heat increases blank uptake and blank healing

Answer 34

oxygen, accelerates

Question 35

heat blank fluid viscosity which allows for lengthening of fibers

Answer 35

decreases
