This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The brain and spinal cord






2. Extensors of lumbar spine - thoracic spine-pectorals and thoracic flexibility






3. The theory of body zone is fundamental. it is believed that each of ten zones terminates in of your toes - and each organ - gland - bone or muscle in a particular zone has it reflex point in the corresponding zone of the foot - hand and arch. by mass






4. Relaxation of a muscle caused by a strong sustained stretch of the muscle itself






5. Geared towards restoring normal or at least functional movement. it helps evaluate normal movement and recognize and correct abnormal movement






6. Reduction of activity as a result of an antagonistic stimulation






7. Is uses the power of water - hot or cold - bubbly or still to sooth - invigorate - or stimulate. It's really very much like a massage - only water






8. Extensors of lumbar spine - thoracic spine-pectorals and thoracic flexibility






9. Developed in Eastern bloc countries as a way for athletes to block out the pain of physical competition. Therapists use some of the specific techniques that a regular massage therapist may not use






10. The network of nerves going to and from the brain; includes afferent and efferent






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






12. PNF stands for..






13. Geared towards restoring normal or at least functional movement. it helps evaluate normal movement and recognize and correct abnormal movement






14. Passive expectancy with closed eyes of sensations of heaviness and warmth of limbs - heartbeat - respiration and abdominal warmth and coolness of the forehead for inducing relaxation and an altered state of consciousness in order to recondition the a






15. A serious of stylized movements to improve balance - timing and coordination. slow - continuous movement is used with the spine as the vertical axis and center of gravity in the lower abdomen






16. Involuntary response of contraction in a muscle stimulated by stretch of that muscle






17. Pectorals and intercostals - forearm flexors - hand and finger flexors - upper arms






18. The brain and spinal cord






19. Is uses the power of water - hot or cold - bubbly or still to sooth - invigorate - or stimulate. It's really very much like a massage - only water






20. Of or pertaining to the senses of sensation






21. Muscular effort that results in joint movement - due to the shortening of contracting muscle tissue






22. Process by which we are aware of our internal or external env






23. Originally developed primarily as a medical treatment - emphasizes several basic strokes applied to the soft tissues of the body - often quite vigorously. Therapists endeavor to threat the mind and spirit as well as the body in their work






24. Of or pertaining to the senses of sensation






25. Alternate tensing and relaxing of respiratory - forehead - eye and vocalizing muscles to induce physical and mental relaxation






26. Process by which we are aware of our internal or external env






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






28. Pectorals and intercostals - forearm flexors - hand and finger flexors - upper arms






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






30. Relaxation of a muscle caused by a strong sustained stretch of the muscle itself






31. Reduction of activity as a result of an antagonistic stimulation






32. Hamstrings - extensors of lumbar spine - quadriceps - hip flexors - hip abductors - internal rotators

36. Mental - auditory or visual fixation - an attitude of passive expectancy - a relaxed posture - and a quiet environment with optional eye closure are used to induce a relaxed state with the responses of parasympathetic nervous system dominance






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






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






39. Passive expectancy with closed eyes of sensations of heaviness and warmth of limbs - heartbeat - respiration and abdominal warmth and coolness of the forehead for inducing relaxation and an altered state of consciousness in order to recondition the a
