Chiropractic Assistant Course Review questions
with correct answers
Physiotherapy CORRECT ANSWER treatment of disease and injury by physical means using light,
heat, cold, water, electricity, massage, and exercise
Chiropractic Physiotherapy CORRECT ANSWER The application of forces and substances that induce a physiologic response and use or allow the body's natural processes to return to a more
normal state of health
Physiology CORRECT ANSWER Branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms
The Goals of Physiotherapy treatment CORRECT ANSWER 1.) To manage or reduce pain
2.) To return Range of motion (ROM)
3.) Maintain or improve strength
Innate Intelligence CORRECT ANSWER in living bodies only, intrinsic ability to maintain homeostasis
The start of Chiropractic CORRECT ANSWER 1895 Daniel David Palmer treating in Davenport Iowa
1897 The Palmer school of Chiropractic was founded
secondary curvatures CORRECT ANSWER concave posterior curvatures of cervical and lumbar vertebrae (lordotic)

Endomysium CORRECT ANSWER Connective tissue surrounding a muscle fiber
Phases of wound healing CORRECT ANSWER 1. inflammatory phase
2. proliferative phase
3. remodeling phase

Inflammation causes CORRECT ANSWER Vasodilation and phagocytosis
vasoconstriction and vasodilation CORRECT ANSWER Decrease and increase, respectively, of the diameter of arterioles due to the action of smooth muscles in their walls. By varying peripheral resistance, these have the greatest effect on blood pressure. They also control the shunting of blood to different capillary beds.
platelet aggregation CORRECT ANSWER property of platelets to adhere to an injured surface and then attract other platelets, which clump together or aggregate at the area, plugging up an injury to the vascular system
