ICRFR Flashcards
What is hysteresis?
The interval between creep and elastic deformation
What is creep?
When a load/stress is applied to fascia for a long period, lowering its elasticity
What are the functions of fascia? (four Ps)
Postural
Protection
Packaging
Passageways
What embryolocial layer is fascia derived from?
Mesoderm
What are the three components of fasica?
Cells
Ground substance
Fibers
Is fascia continuous or discontinuous?
Continuous
What does it mean for fascia to be contiguous?
In contact with everything in the body
True or false: the body is composed of separate, discreet regions//systems
False
How does fascia support and stabilize the tissues?
Dissipates energy as it transmits lines of force
Does fascia have contractile properties?
For OMM, yes.
Fascia has what type of composistion?
Colloid-like
Low force impulses to fascia causes what?
Wave-like fluid mechanics
How is fascia arranged?
Along the same stress lines as the direction of force within the tissue
What is fascia controlled by?
Nerves and hormones
What does fascia surround (nerves, muscles, bones, and/or organs etc)
EVERYTHING
What are the components of the passageway function of fascia? (3)
Forms planes = passageways
Provides fluid for lube
Keeps veins open
What can dysfunctions in the fascia cause?
Affects metabolism of cells
adds pressure/tension
Where are the longitudinally arranged fascia?
Arms/legs
Tendons
Where are horizontal fascial lines?
(Diaphragms)
Cranial base and dura
Thoracic inlet
Respiratory diaphragm
Urogenital diaphragm
What is Wolff’s law?
Bone is increased where needed and resorbed where not
