Mblex Study Guide Questions and
Answers.
skeletal muscle -
\muscle fibers that are multinucleated structures
smooth muscle -
\involuntary muscle that do not have striations found in organs, arteries and veins
cardiac muscle -
\only found in the heart
isotonic contraction -
\muscle changes length as it contracts while load/ resistance stays the same
concentric contraction -
\muscle shortens as it contracts
eccentric contraction -
\muscle lengthens as it contracts
isometric contraction -
\Muscle contracts but there is no movement, muscle stays the same length
Dopamine -
\pain relieving chemical with involuntary movement / clear thinking ( increased by
massage)
Endorphins -
\strong pain relieving chemicals (increased by massage)
Enkephins -
\strong reliever involved in sensory integration (increased by massage)
Oxytocin -
\increases the pain threshold, stimulates smooth muscle contraction, decreases
sympathetic nervous system activity / sedative effects (increases by massage)
Seretonin -
\diminishes pain and appetite, regulates mood / sleep patterns/ stimulates smooth
muscle contractions ( increases by massage)
, Cortisol -
\a natrual anti inflammatory produces in response once to stress that can accelerate
tissue breakdown/ prevent tissue repair ( decreases by massage)
Bells palsy -
\dysfunction of cranial nerve VII ( facial nerve), directs the muscles on one side of the
face including eye blinking and facial expressions
rheumatoid arthritis -
\Autoimmune disorder in the synovial membranes of joints attacked by immune system
cells. Acute flare is possibly through the whole body. Complication: osteoporosis
Protraction -
\Moving a part forward
Retraction -
\moving a part backward
elevation -
\raising a body part
Depression -
\lowering a body part
shea butter -
\latex allergy/ lotion ingredient to avoid
collateral ligaments -
\MCL (medial collateral ligament)/ LCL (lateral collateral ligament found on the sides of
the knee
cruciate ligaments -
\ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)/PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) found middle joint of
knee
Sherrington's Law of reciprocal innervation -
\When one muscle contracts the antagonist relaxes
HIPPA -
\Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is the main Federal law that
protects health info
Proprioception -
\brains ability to know where the body is in space/ pnf techniques
active range of motion -
