Fiber segments

34 students marked "I sat this"Added 16 Apr 2020Question #110056

Drag words into the blanks.

The trigger point causes the rest of the fiber segments to be 1 to capacity. It becomes a tight band. Normally the regular contracting and releasing of these little segments circulates blood in the capillaries that supply them (the segments) with their nutrients. When they hold this 2, blood flow is stopped to that area, there is not an oxygen supply, and waste products are not 3 out. The trigger point then sends out pain signals until the trigger point is put in a position of rest again.
