Define Gamma gain.
Muscle spindles sensitive to sudden stretching.
A measure of blood pressure regulation.
A type of neurotransmitter in the brain.
A hormone released during stress.
When a muscle is held in a shortened position, does gamma gain occur?
Yes.
No.
Only during relaxation.
Only in lengthened position.
Which neuronal loop stimulated alpha and intrafusal fibers of a muscle spindle?
Alpha loop.
Gamma loop.
Beta loop.
Delta loop.
Which neuronal loop regulates intrafusal fibers?
Gamma.
Alpha.
Beta.
Delta.
What is reciprocal inhibition?
Reciprocal inhibition inhibits the antagonist of a contracting muscle.
Reciprocal inhibition stimulates the agonist muscle to contract harder.
Reciprocal inhibition causes both agonist and antagonist muscles to contract simultaneously.
Reciprocal inhibition prevents any muscle contraction from occurring.
Which manual therapy technique reduces gamma gain?
Functional techniques.
Muscle energy techniques.
Myofascial release.
Positional release.
Bouncing type ballistic stretches can stimulate which reflexes?
Tonic stretch reflex.
Flexor withdrawal reflex.
Inverse stretch reflex.
Plantar reflex.
What causes trigger points?
Calcium leaks causing actin and myosin to bind.
Excessive vitamin D intake.
Lack of oxygen in the lungs.
Overproduction of red blood cells.
What causes tender points?
Localized spasm due to neurologic signals.
Viral infection of the skin.
Excessive bone growth.
Allergic reaction to food.
Characteristics of trigger points:
Taut band, palpable nodule, compression causes radiating pain.
Soft tissue swelling, no pain on compression, limited movement only.
Redness, heat, and swelling at the site.
Loss of sensation, muscle atrophy, and joint deformity.
Define tensegrity.
Balance between tension and compression forces in skeletal system.
A type of muscle contraction involving shortening of muscle fibers.
A process of bone resorption in the skeletal system.
A method of measuring joint flexibility.
In tensegrity system what happens when tension is added at one point?
It is transferred and reflected throughout.
It is absorbed at the point of application.
It causes the system to collapse immediately.
It only affects the nearest node.
In tensegrity what are compression spacers?
Bones.
Muscles.
Ligaments.
Tendons.
In tensegrity what exerts tension?
Muscles and tendons.
Bones and ligaments.
Cartilage and fat.
Nerves and blood vessels.
Function of horizontal bands?
Supports blood vessels and nerves and adds rigidity to torso.
Helps in digestion of food.
Regulates body temperature.
Produces hormones for growth.
Purpose of 4 fascial planes
Divide dorsal and ventral, cranial base and diaphragm.
Support lymphatic drainage only.
Provide blood supply to muscles.
Facilitate nerve conduction exclusively.
Name four planes:
Thoracic inlet, pubic floor, cranial base, and diaphragm.
Sagittal suture, mandible, femur, and scapula.
Aorta, trachea, esophagus, and liver.
Temporal bone, maxilla, patella, and clavicle.

Visceral.
Superficial.
Parietal.
Subcutaneous.
What layer of fascia is composed of epi, peri, endomysiums?
Axial.
Superficial.
Visceral.
Parietal.
What layer of fascia holds organs together?
Visceral.
Superficial.
Parietal.
Subcutaneous.
Which fascial planes should be addressed with chronic neck pain, forward head and rounded shoulders?
Thoracic inlet and diaphragm.
Abdominal wall and pelvic floor.
Lumbar fascia and iliotibial band.
Plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.
