    Explanation
    During a massage, it is important to avoid any skin condition that can be aggravated or worsened by manipulation or pressure. An open wound should be avoided as it is vulnerable to infection and can easily get irritated or bleed during a massage. The other skin conditions listed, such as psoriasis, acne rosacea, and ephelides (freckles), may not necessarily be contraindications for massage and can be safely worked around or massaged with caution. However, an open wound requires special care and should be avoided altogether during a massage.

    What effect could stress have upon the skeletal system ? 

    • Acromegaly

    • Dwarfism

    • Giantism

    • Poor posture

    Correct Answer
    A. Poor posture
    Explanation
    Stress can have a detrimental effect on the skeletal system, leading to poor posture. When a person is stressed, their muscles tend to tense up, causing them to hunch their shoulders or slouch. Over time, this can result in misalignment of the spine and other skeletal structures, leading to poor posture. Poor posture can further contribute to various skeletal issues, such as back pain, muscle imbalances, and increased risk of injuries. Therefore, stress can indirectly impact the skeletal system by influencing posture.

    • Somatotropic hormone

    • B.T.S.H

    • Insuline

    • Adrenaline

    Correct Answer
    A. Adrenaline
    Explanation
    Adrenaline is released in response to the "flight or fight syndrome". This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands and helps prepare the body to either confront or flee from a perceived threat. It increases heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels, providing the body with a burst of energy and heightened awareness. Adrenaline also dilates the airways, improving oxygen intake, and redirects blood flow to the muscles, enabling quick and powerful movements. Overall, adrenaline plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and danger.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lymphoedema
    Explanation
    Massage can help improve lymphoedema, a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the body's tissues, usually in the arms or legs. Massage techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage can help stimulate the flow of lymph fluid and reduce swelling. By applying gentle pressure and rhythmic movements, massage can help move the excess fluid out of the affected area and improve circulation. However, it is important to note that massage should be performed by a trained professional who is familiar with lymphoedema management to ensure safety and effectiveness.

    Explanation
    Basal cell carcinoma is contra-indicated for massage due to the risk of spreading it or causing more damage. Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body.

    • Endocrine system

    • Urinary system

    • Respiratory system

    Correct Answer
    A. Nervous system
    Explanation
    Massage is effective in treating stress because it stimulates the nervous system. The physical manipulation of the muscles and tissues during a massage helps to activate the body's relaxation response, which in turn reduces stress and promotes a sense of calm. The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating stress responses, so by stimulating this system, massage can help to alleviate stress and its associated symptoms.

  • 21. 

    Short term stress may cause which of the following symptoms ? 

    • Toothache

    • Halitosis

    • Gingivitis

    • Palpitations

    Correct Answer
    A. Palpitations
    Explanation
    Short-term stress can cause palpitations, which are rapid or irregular heartbeats. When a person is stressed, their body releases stress hormones like adrenaline, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. This can lead to palpitations, where a person feels their heart pounding, fluttering, or skipping beats. Palpitations are a common symptom of stress and anxiety and usually subside once the stressor is removed or the person relaxes. Toothache, halitosis, and gingivitis are not typically associated with short-term stress.

    Which hormone is associated with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system ? 

    • Lactogenic Hormone

    • Thyroxin

    • F.S.H

    • Adrenaline

    Correct Answer
    A. Adrenaline
    Explanation
    Adrenaline is the correct answer because it is a hormone that is associated with the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. When released into the bloodstream, adrenaline increases heart rate, dilates blood vessels, and causes the liver to release glucose, all of which are characteristic responses of the sympathetic nervous system. This hormone is released in response to stress or danger and prepares the body for the "fight or flight" response.

    Rate this question:

  • 44. 

    Which part of the nervous system has a homeostatic relationship with the amount of adrenaline produced ? 

    • Sympathetic and parasympathetic system

    • Central nervous system

    • Pons

    • Cerebellum

    Correct Answer
    A. Sympathetic and parasympathetic system
    Explanation
    The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems both play a role in regulating the amount of adrenaline produced in the body. The sympathetic system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which triggers the release of adrenaline in stressful or dangerous situations. On the other hand, the parasympathetic system helps to restore balance and calmness after the stress response, reducing the amount of adrenaline in the body. Therefore, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems have a homeostatic relationship with the amount of adrenaline produced.
