ONE answer in EACH Question below:

1. ONE Statement is WRONG.
a.
The Chinese name for an AP point is "Xue",
which means "hole"
b.
Needling should cause a sensation of paraesthesia,
like an electric shock running away from the
needle.
c.
AP points may coincide with AHSHI points, Trigger
Points (TPs), Motor Points
d.
Some AP points are rich in proprioceptors, such
as near joints; others are rich in nerve endings.
Needling strongly stimulates the cerebral cortex
and hypothalamus and results in powerful reflex
action, for instance the response to GV26 in
shock, collapse
e. AP points seldom arise
over a peripheral nerve and one should be very
careful not to needle a nerve

2.
ONE Statement is WRONG.
a. Skin lesions, sweat,
serum etc have no effect on the readings of
electrical point finders.
b.
AP points have high direct-current (DC) potential
and low impedance (high conductivity) relative to
surrounding skin
c.
Tissue around AP points has more free nerve
endings, vascular spirals, thickening of the
epidermis and more linear alignment of collagen
fibres than tissue more distant from the points.
d.
In animals (with hairy skins) the hair may
interfere with readings of electrical
pointfinders.
e.
Spring-loaded probes, applied at constant force,
improve the accuracy of electronic point
detection.

3.
ONE Statement is WRONG.
a.
In provocation experiments, irritants are
injected into different organs, body regions or
joints. Points that show increased sensitivity
after the challenge are noted. Provocation
experiments have shown the reflex connections
between AP points and organs/body parts.
b.
Kothbauer's provocation experiments were mainly
on the reflex points of the abdominal viscera of
cows.
c.
Kvirshishvili did provocation experiments on
specific joints of white rabbits perfused with a
blue dye to mark reactive Earpoints.
d. Thermography shows up
reflex vasodilation at AP points as cold-spots.
e.
Schupbach did provocation experiments on the body
or horn of the uterus of minipigs. He found
specific reflex zones especially over the iliac
wing, lumbosacral space, sacral foramina and
anterior coccygeal area (corresponding to BL26.3,
27-34, PAIHUI, WEIKEN etc)
