Lesion Mod 2 Questions Flashcards
What causes the body to use additional energy to carry the body through the work required of the day’s activities?
When lesions cause stiffness in certain sections of the spine, much additional energy is needed to carry the body through the work required of it by the day’s activities.
What happens when the body attempts to force a certain joint through movements which it cannot perform on account of restricted motion?
Joints above and below are made to compensate and reach limits of motion for which they are not prepared.”
What does a spinal lesion cause with regards to the margin between health and low resistance?
The added force required to overcome the stresses developed often amount to a serious depletion of the margin between vigorous health on one hand and the low resistance on the other.
What did V.E LeRoy say about an osteopathic lesion as a cause of disease?
An osteopathic spinal-joint lesion produces certain local changes and certain reflex changes, and beyond that the lesion has untold numbers of other effects transient, semi-transient, and permanent.”
(Transient, Semi, Perminant Remember!)
What are variations in effect caused by?
Variations are
due to the different life experiences to which the person has reacte
What is the Osteopathic Pathologic state?
Abnormalities in the following; Nerve stimulation, abnormal muscle tension in glandular/ arterial/ visceral/ and skeletal muscle
the development of a “fixed postural tension
The Fixed postural tension is present when this has “replaced the plastic postural tension normal in the tissues.
What characterizes the Osteopathic pathological state as a diseased state?
(1) a local pathology in the spinal-joint involved
(2) a remote pathology in certain visceral or somatic tissues or organs
(3) a disturbance in the reflex arcs connecting the involved tissues.
What is the Osteopathic spinal lesion a disease-producing agent of?
Great potency and insidiousness
What is Heads Law
When a painful stimulus is applied to a part of low
sensibility which has close central connection with a part of much higher sensibility, the pain produced is felt in the part of much higher sensibility rather than in the part of lower sensibility to which the stimulus was applied.”
What does V.E. LeRoy say about Head’s Law?
“Head’s Law deals with a one-way impulse. That is all.”
Head’s Law deals with a sensory impulse which passes from where to where?
from an area of low sensibility to the sea of consciousness where emotion is affected
What does Pottenger say about disease?
In the presence of disease of an internal viscus the sensory
cell bodies of the cord in the segment in reflex relation become highly excitable from being bombarded by stimuli coming from that disease viscus.
What is an additional concept to that described in Head’s Law?`
The Protective mechanism in the brain sends motor impulses to the muscles of the joint where the pain is felt. The impulses reach the sensitive, short segmental spinal muscles, intrinsic to the joint, which develop a fixation- a high tonic shortening, too persistent and too high for the lymph or venous pressure to overcome
Local acidosis
What is Type 1 Congestion?
Localized congestion of lymph and venous blood, caused by the pinch of muscle tension on the vessels lying in skeletal muscle fibers.”
What is Type 2 Congestion?
Found in any part of the joint and is caused by reflex vasomotor disturbances reaching the blood vessels of the joint.”
The reflex arch is composed of?
A receptor, an afferent nerve with its nerve center, and an efferent nerve considered as the pathway of a reflex act.”
What does a reflex arc consist of?
Passage of an impulse along sensory (Afferent) neurons to the reflex center where it is converted into a motor impulse and is passed along the motor (Efferent) axon to the muscle or gland`
What is contraction?
A fsion of many muscle twitches. It is a quick action for the use and protection of the body. Contraction is accompanied by the production of much heat and by the consumption of quantities of oxygen
What is a contracture?
Slow and gentle, and may be maintained over much longer periods of time…very little evidence of heat production or oxygen consumption as compared to those phenomena in contraction
How is the strength and velocity of the nerve impulse modified?
(Irritibility, Strength, and conductivity)
Temperature, toxins, pressure… electronus
What does an abnormal stimulus cause?
LeRoy continous in flow and prolonged
McBain- more rapid in rate and greater intensity
What is the result when nerve receptors in lesioned tissue receive abnormal stimuli?
the irritability of a nerve cell and fiber may be reduced by prolonged functional activity, and in practice this amounts to the same thing as fatigue
What useful purpose does mobilization of adrenalin under the influence of sympathetic reflex arcs serve?
lowers the threshold to sympathetic stimuli, accelerates and augments the heartbeat, raises blood pressure, alters the distribution of blood, dilates pupils, and inhibits digestive activities, preparing the body for immediate defense.
What does temporary glycosuria commonly accompany?
Commonly found accompanying intense pain or suppressed emotion than after strenuous exertion
How do the evil effects of depressing emotions, anxiety, fear, pain, anger, toxins, infections, and traumas influence the body?
Structural Change
