One way to increase stability is to move the center of gravity _____.
lower
What cranial nerves are near the TMJ?
Cranial nerves 9-12
How can a restriction cause patchy sweating?
Due to reflex connection to the sympathetic nervous system
The dorsal compartment of the TMJ is between ____ and ____.
Meniscus and temporal bone
When adjusting the occiput, what is the neck stabilized by?
An assistant
Which muscle action generates the most force?
Eccentric
T/F: The extensor carpi radialis reflex is the most reliable thoracic limb reflex.
TRUE
It is important to repeat the motion palpation ___ times to be sure of the diagnosis.
1-2
What is a complex joint?
A joint with 2 or more articular surfaces and a disc
What enables the muscle spindle cell to be effective at all muscle lengths?
The gamma motor neuron or gamma gain.
The cranial sympathetic ganglion is located where?
At the base of the skull, near the TMJ.
Which group of muscles lies ventral to the cervical spine?
Longus
What muscles make up the thoracic sling?
Trapezius, rhomboideus, serratus ventralis, pectorals
T/F: Joint laxity is a contraindication for manipulation.
TRUE
Where does pain occur?
In the brain
Why does rubbing or shaking an injured part help decrease pain?
Motion stimulates the Ia fibers which inhibit nociception.
T/F: When adjusting the front limb the limb should be weight-bearing.
FALSE: The limb should be NON-weight bearing.
During manipulation the dog’s mouth should be (open/closed)?
Open
T/F: Because the TMJ is a high motion joint we need to palpate it with high force
FALSE
What are two possible restrictions of the atlas?
Dorsal and cranial
What divides the TMJ into 2 compartments?
Meniscus
A dog that is paraplegic but still has deep pain is considered to have what grade of spinal cord lesion?
Grade 4
T/F: If a manipulation does not restore normal ROM you should make no more than 2-3 attempts at manipulation in 1 day.
TRUE
T/F: Increasing nociception and perpetuating inflammatory factor are two ways the sympathetics can promote the subluxation complex.
TRUE
How does head position affect the sympathetics?
Lowering the head stimulates the parasympathetics and calms the sympathetics
Which cervical vertebra has demi-facets?
C7
What is the stretch-shortening cycle?
Eccentric loading of the muscle just prior to concentric action to increase the force produced
A dog that is paraplegic and has absent patellar tendon reflexes likely has a lesion at ___.
L4-S3
Which mechanoreceptors inhibit or cause relaxation to the muscle that they are in?
Golgi tendon organs
T/F: The neck should be in extension during motion palpation
FALSE
The caudal and middle cervical sympathetic ganglion are near the ____.
First rib
What is the patient contact point when manipulating C3 through C5?
Lamina-pedicle junction
T/F: Schiff-Sherrington Syndrome indicates a lesion between T3 and L3 and generally holds a good prognosis.
FALSE
Why does a dog lower its center of gravity when working, especially when the base of support is small?
To increase stability
Is it possible for a cervical adjustment to improve lateral bend?
Yes
Low gamma gain can lead to tendon injury where?
Outside of the normal ROM
Injury or inflammation of which ligament can affect the contents of the IVF?
Ligamentum flavum
