appointed by the government
Client relations committee - Answers - ensures measures are in place to deal with client
abuse
discipline committee - Answers - conducts hearings relating it misconduct, makes
decisions involving revoking or suspending certificates
Executive Committee - Answers - has all the powers of council with the exception of
making/revoking by-laws and regulations
Fitness to Practise Committee - Answers - hears matters concerning the physical or
mental capacity of a registrant to practise
Central nervous system - Answers - Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - Answers - Spinal branches and cranial nerves
Enteric nervous system - Answers - Influences all digestive processes
Autonomic nervous system - Answers - Controls involuntary activity of visceral muscles
and internal organs and glands.
Myolin - Answers - isolates, increases conductivity of nerve
Grey matter - Answers - Processes information
Afferent neurons - Answers - Carry sensory information to the CNS
Efferent nurons - Answers - Carry motor information away from the CNS
A-delta fibres - Answers - myolinated fibres that transmit sharp fast highly localized pain
, C-fibres - Answers - UNMYOLINATED fibres that carry slow, dull achey pooly localized
pain
Upper Motor Neuron Lesion (at / above T12) - Answers - Causes hyperreflexia
Lower Motor Neuron Lesion - Answers - Causes Flaccidity
sympathetic nervous system - Answers - Fight or flight responce
Blood vessels only have _________ nerve supply - Answers - sympathetic
neuro transmitters are stored here in an axon - Answers - axon terminal
Axon hillock creates... - Answers - action potential
schwan cells - Answers - support cells that produce myelin sheath for neurons in the
peripheral nervous system
Up regulation - Answers - Increased number of hormone receptors, increases uptake

muscle tissue
