Q

Mechanotransduction

A

External mechanical forces that are translated into biochemical signals from ECM and triggers a cellular response.

(Injury or somatic dysfunction can trigger a cellular response that has widespread affects)

Q

Multiple AGR strains

A

The body can have multiple AGRs over the course of life, releasing the one with the most exerting tension strain can have the largest effect on the body

16
Q

Drag

A

Amount of resistance to motion deterred by internal molecular resistance

17
Q

Universal Components of mechanotrasnduction

A

ECM, cytoskeleton of cells, focal adhesion

18
Q

Concept of Skeleton under bio tensegrity

A

Integrated fascial fabric w/ floating compression elements

19
Q

Focal adhesions

A

Complex of integrins and transmembrane proteins that bind cytoskeleton and ECM proteins together

Key component in cellular bio-tensegrity and the principle regulator of mechanotransduction.

20
Q

Main goal of OMT

A

Help bring the body back to a position of healing

21
Q

Attachments of the dura mater inside the skeleton

A

Cranium

Base of skull

C1-C2

S2

Together form a core link or reciprocal tension membrane that helps drive cartilage production

22
Q

Complex adaptive systems

A

Micro-structures that form together to create macro-structures for survivability purposes.

  • dynamic networks of interactions and are aggregations of individual static entities.
  • adaptive because they mutate collectively and self-organize based on Ever changing micro events. Evolve emergent properties because of this.
  • cant be described by 1 rule, and cannot be reduced to only 1 level of explanation.
23
Q

Examples of human complex adaptive systems

A

Individual cells

Aggregations of cells

Organs

Humans: which are formed by the other systems to survive and reproduce.

24
Q

Why does local manipulation affect distant neuromuscular function?

A

Transmission of changes through bio tensegrity system creating a new balance of length and tension values.

25
Q

Why does local manipulation affect organic and systemic function of the heart?

A

Alterations in cardiac muscle contractility, cardiac rate and demand for oxygen.

26
Q

Why does a global technique affect local neuromusculoskeletal function?

A

Decreases muscle tone, pain and reactivity.

In turn lowers sympathetic tone.

27
Q

Elastic deformation definition

A

A recoverable deformation

28
Q

Plastic deformation

A

A non-recoverable deformation

  • causes permanent changes in the tensegrity system.
29
Q

Examples of trauma

A

Injury, surgery, repetitive motion syndromes
