SELECT
ONE answer in EACH Question below:

1. ONE Statement is WRONG.
a.
The selective sensitivity which appears at AP
points in disease is partly a reflex phenomenon
associated with autonomic changes and a "primitive
nervous system" phenomenon, such as occurs
in plants and lower animals when tissues are
damaged.
b.
As the disease process is controlled and/or
eliminated by the body, AP point sensitivity
returns to its normal baseline levels.
c.
In the treatment of disorders in which pain-points,
AHSHI points etc have been located on initial
examination, disappearance of AP point
sensitivity in the first few treatment sessions
is a good prognostic sign.
d.
Certain drugs (such as alcohol, mescaline,
marijuana) may cause general alterations in all
major AP points, probably by reflex autonomic
effects.
e. Mental state (excitement,
fear, depression etc) has no effect on AP point
sensitivity.

2.
ONE Statement is WRONG.
a. Vet acupuncturists must
know thoroughly at least 150 points before they
can expect good clinical results in animals.
b.
The 12 Main Channels are bilaterally symmetrical
and the CV and GV Channels are in the ventral and
dorsal midline respectively
c.
There is a total of 361 point positions (if one
does not count mirror opposites) on the 14 main
Channels of human AP
d.
Ear Points, "New Points", "Strange
Points" and "Hand Points", Scalp
points, Face points, Nose points and Foot Zone
points bring the number of point locations to
>1000.
e.
Human Earpoints form an inverted homonculus, with
the head at the earlobe, the back towards the
posterior edge and the buttocks/feet at the upper
part of the ear. However, there is controversy
over the exact position of the points: for
instance, Nogier's ear charts are not identical
to modern Chinese ear charts.

3.
ONE Statement is WRONG.
a.
Provocation experiments and stimulation of the
reactive points suggest that the AP points are
terminals in a bi-directional reflex:
viscerocutaneous and cutaneovisceral. They
confirm the claim of TCM that AP has diagnostic
and therapeutic uses.
b.
Kvirshishvili's provocation experiments confirmed
that specific ipsilateral Ear points vasodilated
in response to pain signals from specific joints.
c.
Thermography shows up reflex vasodilation at AP
points as hot-spots.
d. Schupbach's provocation
experiments failed to detect reflex points
related to the uterine body or horn of minipigs.
e.
Kothbauer's provocation experiments found that
specific ipsilateral points in the lumbosacral
area reacted to ipsilateral irritation of the
ovary, uterus, kidney or cervix uteri.
