Indicate whether the statement is true or false. The craniosacral system is a semi-closed hydraulic system composed of the meninges, the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, the physiological structures that control fluid input and outflow, and related bones.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. Rolfing attempts to bring the physical structure of the body into alignment around a central axis. This is done by manipulating the fascia of the structural muscles. After a Rolfing session, both physical and psychological balance are often experienced by the client.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 4. The craniosacral system normally moves through a flexion and extension phase at a rate of six to twelve cycles per minute.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 5. On the cranium, extension is palpated as a transverse widening and a front-to-back shortening of the skull.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 6. On the cranium, extension is palpated as a transverse narrowing and a front-to-back lengthening of the skull.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 7. On the cranium, flexion is palpated as a transverse narrowing and a front-to-back lengthening of the skull.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 8. On the cranium, flexion is palpated as a transverse widening and a front-to-back shortening of the skull.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. Craniosacral motion is transmitted throughout the fascia of the body with flexion noted as a gentle external rotation and widening of the body.

Craniosacral motion is transmitted throughout the fascia of the body with extension noted as a gentle external rotation and widening of the body.

Craniosacral motion is transmitted throughout the fascia of the body with extension noted as a gentle internal rotation and a very slight narrowing of the body.

Craniosacral motion is transmitted throughout the fascia of the body with flexion noted as a gentle internal rotation and a very slight narrowing of the body.

The cranial motion is most easily perceived at the ankles, thighs, pelvis, thorax, and head

When the craniosacral system becomes quiet and still and there is no further movement in the direction of ease, this is referred to as the still point.

A restriction in one part of the craniosacral system is restricted to the local myofascial train.

Rolfing is designed to bring the body into proper structural alignment.

Physical and emotional traumas that cause a reduction of movement can be treated with structural integration techniques by a practitioner who understands how to achieve the desired results.

Once fully developed the sutures of the human skull hold the cranial bones in a solid, immovable structure.

The removal of plaque from the spinal cord is best accomplished using craniosacral techniques with someone who understands the technique very well.
