BIO SCI D124 Lecture Notes - Opioid, Dynorphin, Ct Scan
Document Summary
Arm sore an painful place needle at the point/local or distal. Systemic: high bp in cat has to do with heart and place needle at the forearm. Endorphin releases as a pain killer therefore body gets pain relief. Place one hand in hot water and stick the needle in the other hand. With the brain scan showing that the activation of brain center is decreased. Localized effect: measure nitric oxide right at acupuncture point showing that with acupunction, the no concentration goes up and if you place in another area no increase in no. No will signal through cgmp cycle and relax smooth muscles. Stick needle into acupuncture point, you gotta twirl needle. Twirl slow and fast gives different signal, same needle, same point. Use one acupuncture point to get two different effect** Instead of twisting the signal, we send electrical pulse, this is better and more efficient. Electrical pulse is more accurate and does not relay on practicioners.
