Answer 6

Tender points

Question 7

Where are Chapman’s reflexes located?

Answer 7

The lymphoid tissue in the fascia

Question 8

What occurs in the internucleon Pool of the spinal cord?

Answer 8

Facilitation

Question 9

What does a “Facilitated Segment” of the spinal cord mean?

Answer 9

A segment which has a very low threshold and may fire inappropriately

Question 10

Sympathetic hyperactivity does what for the healing process?

Answer 10

Strongly inhibits the rate at which injured
tissues are regenerated

Question 11

What happens to the oxygen concentration during hypersympathetic activity?

Answer 11

Vasoconstriction reduces concentration of oxygen and other nutrients reaching the tissues supplied
by the vascular network

Question 12

A Lack of motion does what to the healing process during a hypersympathetic incident?

Answer 12

→ stagnation → fermentation → changes in pH

Question 13

Tenderness is due to _____?
and is known as a _______?

Answer 13

Hypercongestion

Chapman’s reflex point

Question 14

What are the 3 levels of Somatic lesioning?

Answer 14

Muscular/ Fascial

Articular surfaces of joints and ligamentous attachments

Osseis lesions (into Bone)

Question 15

What is the medieator between Somatic and organic lesioning?

Answer 15

The Nervous System

Question 16

A Somatic: lesion has what type of Dynamics?

Answer 16

MSK dynamic

Question 17

A Organic lesion has what type of Dynamics?

Answer 17

Viscera & process of organ

Question 18

An organic lesion determins the quality of?

Answer 18

Quality of functional glandular
substances

Question 19

What type of lesion is involved in the Vasomotor control?

Answer 19

Organic lesion (Congestive quality)

Question 20

What are determining factors of somatic and/or organic lesioning?

Answer 20

• Direct trauma to tissue
• Gravitational loading issue
• Congenital condition

Question 21

What are some Potential dangers of aggressive treatment?

Answer 21

Produce excessive stimulation of tissues
- Irritating the condition making it so the patient cant relax
- Places patient at risk; lesion pattern misinterpreted

Question 22

Principled approach delivers??

Answer 24

Force to make changes based on functional anatomy

Question 25

What are the characteristics of Moving from our body

Answer 25

We keep soft hands

Question 26

Keeping soft hands and moving with our bodies is benificial why?

Answer 26

Creates soft contact with patient

Increases palpatory senses

Helps patient accept treatment

Relaxes the patient’s posture

Allows operators to work with greater ease

Question 27

Having an algorithm allows you to ??

Answer 27

Move through assessment/treatment in a methodological way, making rational and logical decisions along the way

Question 28

What is Functional Palpation?

Answer 28

The ability of an operator to maintain a steady rhythm through treatment, while simultaneously using their hands as interchangeable motor and sensory tool

Question 29

What are the Three Stages/Expressions of a Lesion

Answer 29

Short/ has not been around for a long time
Focal Lesion
Chronic Lesion

Question 30

A Lesion that hasn’t been around for long wil have what characteristics?

Answer 30

More localized pain and fluid

Question 31

What type of lesion will have an affect on neurophysiological reflexes?

Answer 31

Focal lesion

Question 32

How will a Chronic lesion present?

Answer 32

Expresses more fibrosity in the muscles and soft tissues

Question 33

The longer a lesion remains, the more ???

Answer 33

The body works to implement a histological matrix to stabilize

Question 34

What are the 3 stages of treatment?

Answer 34

1) Assesses Fascia in relation to lines (Look for compensation)
2) Examine the 4 quadrants (Ograns, and lines)
3) Focal Specific to 1-2 Segments

Question 35

Why are the majority of stress responses in the body non-specific?

Answer 35

There are thousands of reactions that are required to initiate a stress response. Different types of stressors, and different methods of treatment are all unique to individuals.

Question 36

What body mechanism(s) does osteopathic manipulation work on?

Answer 36

somatosensory aspects within the body. By not only working on the motor system but integrating the sensorial system; both anatomical and physiological changes can occur throughout the “whole”. Osteopathy works on the biomechanical system, joint somatic dysfunction, and the repair mechanisms that the body possesses

Question 37

What occurs via the somatovisceral Reflex?

Answer 37

If that cord segment is also site of cell bodies for the sympathetic outflow to a viscera, that viscera’s function may be affected through increased
sympathetic bombardment
