Hypothalmas - ANSMajor connection between nervous system and endocrine system neuro
tissue
Scope of practice - ANSmassage 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.. - ANS6-9 RMTs elected by peers, 5-8 public members appointed by
the government
Client relations committee - ANSensures measures are in place to deal with client abuse
discipline committee - ANSconducts hearings relating it misconduct, makes decisions involving
revoking or suspending certificates
Executive Committee - ANShas all the powers of council with the exception of making/revoking
by-laws and regulations
Fitness to Practise Committee - ANShears matters concerning the physical or mental capacity
of a registrant to practise
Central nervous system - ANSBrain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - ANSSpinal branches and cranial nerves
Enteric nervous system - ANSInfluences all digestive processes
Autonomic nervous system - ANSControls involuntary activity of visceral muscles and internal
organs and glands.
Myolin - ANSisolates, increases conductivity of nerve
Grey matter - ANSProcesses information
Afferent neurons - ANSCarry sensory information to the CNS
Efferent nurons - ANSCarry motor information away from the CNS
A-delta fibres - ANSmyolinated fibres that transmit sharp fast highly localized pain
C-fibres - ANSUNMYOLINATED fibres that carry slow, dull achey pooly localized pain
, Upper Motor Neuron Lesion (at / above T12) - ANSCauses hyperreflexia
Lower Motor Neuron Lesion - ANSCauses Flaccidity
sympathetic nervous system - ANSFight or flight responce
Blood vessels only have _________ nerve supply - ANSsympathetic
neuro transmitters are stored here in an axon - ANSaxon terminal
Axon hillock creates... - ANSaction potential
schwan cells - ANSsupport cells that produce myelin sheath for neurons in the peripheral
nervous system
Up regulation - ANSIncreased number of hormone receptors, increases uptake
Down regulation - ANSCell makes less hormone receptors, prevents desensitizing
Max fine for not reporting sexual abuse - ANS25,000
Max fine for committing sexual abuse - ANS35,000
Brown-Sequard syndrome - ANSloss of motor / weakness and proprioception on same side as
lesion, loss of pain and temperature on opposite side
nodes of ranvier - ANSGaps in the myelin sheath of the axons of peripheral neruons. Action
potentials can 'jump' from node to node, increasing speed of conduction (saltatory conduction).
nerve - ANScollection of axons in the PNS
Tract - ANScollection of axons in the CNS
white matter - ANSaccumulation of axons within the CNS. fatty myelin sheath
peripheral nervous system is made up of - ANS12 pairs of cranial nerves, 31 pairs of spinal
nerves
somatic nervous system - ANSVoluntary, carries motor neurons to skeletal muscle tissue
autonomic nervous system - ANSinvoluntary, motor neurons to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle
and glands
