Exam I Flashcards
4 basic principles of osteopathic medicine
Principle 1: human being is a unit
Principle 2: structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
Principle 3: the body can self-regulate itself
Principle 4: treatment is based on the above
osteopathic evaluation
- history, PE, observation, palpation, motion testing, special tests, radiology, labs
definition of a primary key lesion
- the somatic dysfunction(s) that maintains a total pattern of dysfunction, including other secondary dysfunctions
secondary key lesion
- somatic dysfunction arising either from mechanical or neurophysiologic response subsequent to or as a consequence of other etiologies

- T5-9
SC levels of lesser splanchnic
- T10-11
SC levels of least splanchnic
- T12

definition of lymphangion
- the functional unit with smooth muscle, valves, and intrinsic peristalsis under autonomic (sympathetic) control; can generate enough pressure to account for intravascular lymph movement
autonomic levels to heart/lungs
- Sympathetic (T1-T5)
- Parasympathetic (Vagus)
definition of bioenergetics
- study of how endogenous and exogenous energy sources/forms influence and control living systems and their environment
definition of bioenergy
- energy produced endogenously by living systems
definition of biofield
- complex, extremely weak electromagnetic field of the organism hypothesized to involve electromagnetic bioinformation for regulating homeodynamics
definition of biofield therapy
- any therapeutic modality that interacts and changes the biofield and its manifestations
definition of bioelectromagnetics
- study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological living systems.
definition of bioelectromagnetism
- inherent ability of living cells, tissues, and organisms to produce and emit electrical and magnetic fields, and the response of cells to electromagnetic fields
