2. Proper alignment of head on spine to correct physical misalignments - attitudes and behaviors






3. Nerve fibers which carry info (impulses) to the central nervous system

20. Muscular effort which does not result in joint movement; the force does not move the resistance






21. The brain and spinal cord

31. Abrupt change in the env of excitable tissue causing changes specific to that tissue
