ANSWERS & COMPREHENSIVE EXAM REVIEW
Hypothalamus - correct answer ✔✔Major connection between nervous system and endocrine system
neuro tissue
Scope of practice - correct answer ✔✔massage therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of
the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain
The council is made up of.. - correct answer ✔✔6-9 RMTs elected by peers, 5-8 public members
appointed by the government
Client relations committee - correct answer ✔✔ensures measures are in place to deal with client abuse
discipline committee - correct answer ✔✔conducts hearings relating it misconduct, makes decisions
involving revoking or suspending certificates
Executive Committee - correct answer ✔✔has all the powers of council with the exception of
making/revoking by-laws and regulations
Fitness to Practise Committee - correct answer ✔✔hears matters concerning the physical or mental
capacity of a registrant to practise
Central nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Spinal branches and cranial nerves
Enteric nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Influences all digestive processes
Autonomic nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Controls involuntary activity of visceral muscles and
internal organs and glands.
Myolin - correct answer ✔✔isolates, increases conductivity of nerve
Grey matter - correct answer ✔✔Processes information
Afferent neurons - correct answer ✔✔Carry sensory information to the CNS
Efferent nurons - correct answer ✔✔Carry motor information away from the CNS
A-delta fibres - correct answer ✔✔myolinated fibres that transmit sharp fast highly localized pain
C-fibres - correct answer ✔✔UNMYOLINATED fibres that carry slow, dull achey pooly localized pain
Upper Motor Neuron Lesion (at / above T12) - correct answer ✔✔Causes hyperreflexia
, Lower Motor Neuron Lesion - correct answer ✔✔Causes Flaccidity
sympathetic nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Fight or flight responce
Blood vessels only have _________ nerve supply - correct answer ✔✔sympathetic
neuro transmitters are stored here in an axon - correct answer ✔✔axon terminal
Axon hillock creates... - correct answer ✔✔action potential
schwan cells - correct answer ✔✔support cells that produce myelin sheath for neurons in the peripheral
nervous system
Up regulation - correct answer ✔✔Increased number of hormone receptors, increases uptake
Down regulation - correct answer ✔✔Cell makes less hormone receptors, prevents desensitizing

side as lesion, loss of pain and temperature on opposite side

spinal nerves
somatic nervous system - correct answer ✔✔Voluntary, carries motor neurons to skeletal muscle tissue
autonomic nervous system - correct answer ✔✔involuntary, motor neurons to cardiac muscle, smooth
muscle and glands
CNS nerves cannot regenerate T or F - correct answer ✔✔T
Neurilemma - correct answer ✔✔helps PNS axons to regenerate
resting membrane potential - correct answer ✔✔-70 mv
peak potential - correct answer ✔✔+40 mv
