🗑
The pain-spasm-pain cycle, associated with muscle spasms, is a natural reflex reaction that acts to support and protect damaged tissue.   TRUE  
🗑
Generally the more severe the pain, the more severe the tissue damage.   TRUE  
🗑
Massage therapy has little or no effect over breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle, and the client should be referred immediately to their physician.   FALSE (Skillfully applied massage therapy is very effetive in breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle, relieving the pain, and restoring mobility.

🗑

🗑
Superficial fascia covers the entire muscular system.   TRUE  
🗑
Muscle cells are unique in that they have only one nucleus.   FALSE (They are mulitnucleated, having many nuclei)  
🗑
There are few specialized muscle cells called spindle cells that have both sensory and motor functions.   TRUE  
🗑
Larger muscles have the same number of muscle fibers as smaller muscles, and they have more intricate muscle motor units.   FALSE (Larger muscles may have several hundred muscle fibers, whereas a smaller muscle group may have only two or three muscle fibers)  
🗑
There is only enough ATP stored in the muscle cells to sustain a contraction for a few seconds.   TRUE  
🗑
Skeletal muscles have at least one end of the muscle that is attached to bone.   TRUE  
🗑
The medial aspect of an organ means it is farthest point form the origin of the structure.   FALSE (medial is nearest the center)
