Instumentation Flashcards
What are the purposes for instrumentation?
When to and when not to adjust
Satisfies the “tissue tone” of part
What are the limitations for instrumentation?
Examiner reliability is initially low
Clinical presentation of epidermis
Physiological variability
What are the clinical presentations of epidermis?
Burn Blemish Infection Fever Perspiration
With instrumentation what are you assessing?
Vasomotor function
ANS
Dermal Microcvasculature
Insturmenation is important for?
Ambient Control
Ambient control is?
Dermatome specific
Ambient control begins with cutaneous sensory input from the
Skin
Warmth receptors are?
Unmyelinated
Cold receptors are?
Myelinated (saltory)
With neurological pathway the signal enters the cord as an?
Afferent sensory input and synapses in dorsal horn
The tract of lissauer sorts between?
Pain and temperature
The next synapse is from gray matter to white matter to become?
Lateral Spinothalamic Tract
The lateral spinothalmic tract ascends into the brain carrying the cutaneous message and terminates at the?
Vental Posterolateral nucleus of thalamus
The thalamus functions as a sorting?
Relay
Thalamus synapses to?
Brodmann area 3,1,2
Thalamus also synapses to?
Insular Cortex
The anterior portion of the insular cortex regulates?
Viscero-autonomic function
Insula forwards message to?
Hypothalmus
Anterior hypothalamic nucleus regulates?
Autonomic Function
Anterior hypothalamic nucleus becomes a?
Descending autonomic tract which passes through brainstem
The descending autonomic tract travels to the original site of?
Dermatomal Thermoregulation
The original site of dermatomal thermoregulation is the?
Preganglionic sympathetic fiber
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers will synapse with the?
Sympathetic paravertebral ganglionic chain
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers will neurotransmit AcH and stimulate a nicotinic postganglionic fiber which will tranmit?
Epinepherine
This will terminate at the?
Tunica Media
The descending autonomic tract passes through?
Brainstem
