Answer to Question 1

D
Transmission of the impulse from the nervous system to the musculoskeletal system is an elec-trochemical event that requires a neurotransmitter, a chemical that transfers the electric impulse from the nerve to the muscle. Isometrics is a type of exercise using muscles. Synergistics are opposite effects. Proprioceptors are located in nerve endings.

Answer to Question 2

D
Psychomotor learning occurs when patients acquire skills that require the integration of know-ledge and physical skills. Affective learning includes the patient's feelings, attitudes, opinions, and values. Cognitive learning includes what the patient knows and understands. All intellectual behaviors are in the cognitive domain. A patient's motivation to learn is an important factor; however, it is not a type of learning; it helps to determine if the patient is prepared and willing to learn.
