CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Type of muscle found in the heart
Cardiac: smooth, involuntary striated muscle.
The three types of muscle are
Smooth, cardiac, skeletal
Some ways in which the body reacts to massage
Promotes relaxation, relaxation, relieves anxiety, improve sleep, ETC
The "powerhouse" of the cell
The mitochondria
The membranes that line joint capsules
Synovial membranes
The major function of the cardiovascular system
Transportation of blood, oxygen, nutrients and waste
The muscles of the quadriceps
Rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius
The two effects in which the body has to massage
Mechanical and Reflex
The structure that allows cells to become mobile
The type of tissue that makes up the epidermis of the skin
stratified squamous epithelium
A large artery that could make abdominal massage dangerous, if done incorrectly
Abdominal Aorta
The muscles of the rotator cuff
Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
Why endangerment sites are listed as such
Sensitive areas where nerves, veins, arteries or delicate structures are abundant
Living cells are this much percent water
60%
The membranes that line all body cavities that are open to the exterior
Mucous membranes
The type of circulation loop that takes blood to the lung to be oxygenated
Pulmonary
The ion that rushes into a muscle cell to promote its depolarization
sodium ions
The system that a particular massage technique helps reduce swelling and discomfort in
Lymphatic system
Process by which molecules move away from areas where they are more concentrated to areas where they are less concentrated
Diffusion
The 6 principal functions of the skin
protection, heat regulation, secretion & excretion, sensation, absorption, synthesis of vitamin D

This theory is a concept in muscle physiology that explains how muscles contract to create force using myosin and actin filaments
Sliding filament theory
The theory that positive effects of massage interrupt the transmission of pain sensations from entering the central nervous system.
Gate Control Theory
The three major components of the cytoplasm
organelles, cytosol, and inclusions
The five layers that compose the epidermis are
stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, and corneum,
