EXAM #1: OMM IN PULMONOLOGY Flashcards
What is the result of increased PNS stimulation of the lungs?
1) Bronchoconstriction
2) Increased secretions
What nerve is responsible for the vast majority of PNS stimulation of the lungs?
CN X (vagus)
What is the result of SNS input to the lungs?
Bronchial dilation
What is the result of increased SNS tone on secretions?
Thickening of secretions
What spinal levels are associated with SNS input to the lungs?
T1-T6
What is the difference between breathing and respiration?
Breathing= ventilation Respiration= gas exchange
How can the shoulder be used to aid in breathing?
Bracing the arms allows for the recruitment of the shoulder musculature
What are the effects of abnormally increased SNS input to the lungs?
1) Bronchial dilation
2) Pulmonary arteriole vasoconstriction
3) Increased mucous production
What division of the ANS is dominant in normal lung function?
PNS
*Vagal
What is the result of abnormally increased PNS input to the lungs?
1) Bronchoconstriction
2) Copious thin secretions
What type of ribs are caused by coughing?
Locked down
What degree of scoliosis will cause respiratory impairment?
50 degrees
Where do the left and right crus of the diaphragm attach?
Left= L1-2 Right= L1-3
What diagnosis is associated with RT1-3?
Right upper lobe pneumonia
What diagnosis is associated with RT3-4?
Right middle lobe pneumonia
What diagnosis is associated with RT5-6?
Right lower lobe pneumonia
What diagnosis is associated with LT1-3?
Left upper lobe pneumonia
What diagnosis is associated with LT4-6?
Left lower lobe pneumonia
In a patient with acute asthma, should you address the OA first?
NO–this will heighten the PNS and exacerbate the sx.
In treating an inflammatory pulmonary disease, what should you address?
T10-L1 b/c of adrenal input/ production of “natural anti-inflammatory”
