CA Level 1 Exam
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) - ANS-the involuntary part of the peripheral nervous
system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart).
Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
Blood pressure - ANS-systolic (heart contracts)/ diastolic (heart relaxes)
Bradycardia - ANS-less than 60 beats per minute
Central Nervous System (CNS) - ANS-brain and spinal cord
cervical vertebrae - ANS-C1-C7
Contraindications for stimulating current - ANS-1. Pregnancy
2. Cancer
3. Pacemaker or defibrillator
Elevation - ANS-raising a body part
Extension - ANS-Straightening of a joint
Flexion - ANS-bending a joint
good characteristics of a CA - ANS-Compassion, integrity, organized, good communication
skills
Hardening - ANS-Scar hardening overtime>trigger points, adhesions, calcifying spurs
Indications and Contraindications for therapies - ANS-Indications: reason to do therapy.
Contraindications: reason to not do the therapy.
Inflammation - ANS-Pain, redness, temperature, and swelling
lumbar vertebrae - ANS-L1-L5
NCBOCE - ANS-North Carolina board of chiropractic examiners
NCCA - ANS-North Carolina chiropractic association
Normal pulse - ANS-60-100 per minute.
objective data - ANS-Factual, related to reality or physical objects; not influenced by
emotions, unbiased. Ex is blood pressure or weight
Pulse ox - ANS-95-100%
Reasons for decreased neurosensitivity - ANS-Age, diabetic, thyroid disease, alcohol,
polypharma, vitamin b deficiency
Repair - ANS-Fibroblast cells form scar
Respiration - ANS-16-20 per minute, looking at rhythm and depth
Rules in treating a patient - ANS-1. Do no harm
2. Make the patient comfortable
Stages of blood pressure - ANS-Normal: 120/80
prehypertensive 120-139/ 80-89
stage 1: 140-159/ 90-99
stage 2: 160-179/ 100-109
stage 3: 180+/ 110+
Stages of healing from trauma - ANS-1. Inflammation
2. Repair
3. Hardening
subjective data - ANS-based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. One
sided. Ex is height
