MASSAGE THERAPY EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS!!
which tissue covers external and internal structures, such as the skin and blood vessels, and
lines open and closed body cavities.
Epithelial tissue
Examples are impetigo (bacterial infection), ringworm (fungal infection), malaria
(protozoal infection), influenza (viral infection), lice (infestation), and mad cow disease
(prionic infection).
Infectious Diseases
what diseases are called infestations and include worms, ticks, lice, and scabies.
Parasitic Diseases
what lines open body cavities.
Mucous Membranes
what contraindications are areas where massage must be avoided because the area is
injured, is inflamed, is part of a disease process, or contains a medical device or
pharmaceutical product.
Local
nonliving entities that depend on a host cell for growth and replication.
Viruses
the sum of all physical and chemical processes that occur in an organism.
Metabolism
thumb area.
Pollex
study of disease.
, Pathology/Pathophysiology
the cell's "power plant," where most of the chemical reactions involved in cellular
respiration happen. They also provide most of the cell's adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the
cell's energy or power molecule.
Mitochondria
single most important strategy in infection control, because the primary source of disease
transmission is contact with human hands.
Effective hand hygiene
study of how the body and its individual parts function in normal body processes.
Physiology
diseases are marked by an inappropriate or excessive immune response whereby the body
mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy tissue
Autoimmune diseases
means within or inside, as in endometrium or endocardium.
Endo
The human body can be organized from small components to functional unit. This
organization follows a hierarchy based on level of complexity that ranges, from least to
most, through the chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism levels.
Hierarchy
tissue predominately fat and serves as storage for surplus food and as insulation to
conserve body heat while supporting and protecting certain structures, such as the heart,
the kidneys, and some joints.
Adipose Tissue
which contraindications represent situations in which massage should be postponed.
