Exam 2 Flashcards
Tranverse Processes are always at the level of the ___
vertebral body
The level of the spinous process will ___
change; not always level with vertebral body
Rule of 3s
- T1, 2, 3, 12: spinous process located at the level of the corresponding transverse process
- T4, 5, 6, 11: spinous process located 1/2 a segment below the corresponding transverse process
- T7, 8, 9, 10: spinous process located at the level of the transverse process of the vertebrae one below
Superior Facet Orientation
- cervical: backwards, upwards, medial
- thoracic: backwards, upwards, lateral
- lumbar: backwards, medial
Spinal SD can cause…
- reduce efficiency
- impair flow of fluids
- alter nerve function
- create structural imbalance
Type 1 Mechanics
- In the neutral range, side bending and rotation are coupled in opposite directions
- tends to be a group of vertebra
TONGO
type one neutral group opposite
Type 2 Mechanics
- in flexion/extension, sidebending and rotation are coupled in the same direction
- tends to be a single vertebra
Type 1 Mechanic: naming
- locate the vertebra or group
- indicate position
- indicate sidebending
- indicate rotation
ex. T1-3NSrRl
Type 2 Mechanic: anming
- locate the vertebra or group
- indicate position
- indicate sidebending
- indicate rotation
ex. T9FSrRr
Fryette: 3rd principle
initiating movement of a vertebral segment in any plane of motion will modify the movement of that segment in other planes of motion
Fryette: 1st principel
in the neutral range, side bending and rotation are coupled in opposite directions (only T/L spine)
Fryette: 2nd principel
in sufficient flexion/extension, side bending and rotation are coupled in the same direction
(only T/L spine)

Scoliosis
- lateral curvature of the spine
- named toward the convexity (levo-left, dextro-right)

The ____ side is the side towards which you’re inducing sidebending…aka the ___ ____.
- fulcrum
2. side-bending side

In the cervical spine, we should assume SB and rotation are in…
the same direction

What is the lymphatic structures come from mesoderm? endoderm?
- lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, and myeloid tissue
- thymus, parts of the tonsils
When does lymph development begin? when does it mature?
- week 5 (significant presence by week 20)
2. immature at birth; tissue increases until puberty, and then begins to regress
3 anatomical components of lymph
- Organized lymph tissues/organs
- Lymph fluid
- lymph vessels
What is the largest single mass of lymph tissue? what drives its movement? what is its function?
- Spleen
- pressure-sensitive (movement of diaphragm drives splenic fluid movement)
- destroy damaged RBCs, synthesizes Igs, clear bacteria
*beneath ribs 9-11 on the left; shouldn’t be palpable
What do the spleen and liver have in common?
they are both pressure sensitive (movement of diaphragm drives hepatic/splenic fluid movement)
*liver is palpable at right costal margin
What is the role of the liver in relation to lymph?
- half of the body’s lymph is formed here
- clears bacteria
- “gate keeper” of the shared hepatobiliary pancreatic venus and lymphatic drainage
What is the location/function of the tonsils?
- palatine (lateral pharynx), lingual (posterior 1/3 of tongue), pharyngeal (adenoids at nasopharyngeal border)
- provide cells to influence and build immunity early in life
What is contained in the appendix? what is the function of the appendix?
- lymphoid pulp (degenerates with age)
2. part of GALT
With fluid overload, how does the lymphatic system prevent damage?
clearing the excess
What percentage of drainage through the thoracic duct is associated with respiration?
35-60%
What tissues do not have lymphatic vessels, but use direct diffusion?
- epidermis (hair, nails…)
- endomysium (inner lining of muscle cells)
- cartilage
- bone marrow
What are lymph capillaries made of?
leaky squamous epithelium
what are lymphangions?
- muscular chains that comprise the lymphatic collectors
- work like the heart to contract regularly and move lymph in peristaltic waves
