NEW 2022 EXAM SECRETS FOR CMTO MCQ
Hypothalmas - Major connection between nervous system and endocrine system neuro tissue
Scope of practice - 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.. - 6-9 RMTs elected by peers, 5-8 public members appointed by the
government
Client relations committee - ensures measures are in place to deal with client abuse
discipline committee - conducts hearings relating it misconduct, makes decisions involving
revoking or suspending certificates
Executive Committee - has all the powers of council with the exception of making/revoking by-
laws and regulations
Fitness to Practise Committee - hears matters concerning the physical or mental capacity of a
registrant to practise
Central nervous system - Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - Spinal branches and cranial nerves
Enteric nervous system - Influences all digestive processes
Autonomic nervous system - Controls involuntary activity of visceral muscles and internal
organs and glands.
Myolin - isolates, increases conductivity of nerve
Grey matter - Processes information
Afferent neurons - Carry sensory information to the CNS
Efferent nurons - Carry motor information away from the CNS
A-delta fibres - myolinated fibres that transmit sharp fast highly localized pain
C-fibres - UNMYOLINATED fibres that carry slow, dull achey pooly localized pain
Upper Motor Neuron Lesion (at / above T12) - Causes hyperreflexia
, Lower Motor Neuron Lesion - Causes Flaccidity
sympathetic nervous system - Fight or flight responce
Blood vessels only have _________ nerve supply - sympathetic
neuro transmitters are stored here in an axon - axon terminal
Axon hillock creates... - action potential
schwan cells - support cells that produce myelin sheath for neurons in the peripheral nervous
system
Up regulation - Increased number of hormone receptors, increases uptake
Down regulation - Cell makes less hormone receptors, prevents desensitizing
Max fine for not reporting sexual abuse - 25,000
Max fine for committing sexual abuse - 35,000
Brown-Sequard syndrome - loss of motor / weakness and proprioception on same side as
lesion, loss of pain and temperature on opposite side
nodes of ranvier - Gaps 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 - collection of axons in the PNS
Tract - collection of axons in the CNS
white matter - accumulation of axons within the CNS. fatty myelin sheath
peripheral nervous system is made up of - 12 pairs of cranial nerves, 31 pairs of spinal nerves
somatic nervous system - Voluntary, carries motor neurons to skeletal muscle tissue
autonomic nervous system - involuntary, motor neurons to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and
glands
CNS nerves cannot regenerate T or F - T
Neurilemma - helps PNS axons to regenerate
