OAT GI Flashcards
What is one of the first steps in the biomechanical model?
determine whether SD is due to primary MSK or secondary to viscerosomatic reflex
If SD persists after tx, think the latter
List the characteristics of
a. True Visceral Pain
b. True Somatic Pain
c. Phrenic pain
Visceral pathology leads to…
Visceral pathology –> increased stretch/irritation to GI nerves –> increased afferent signals to CNS –> afferent fibers synapse in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord
*Prolonged afferent activity leads to FACILITATION of the neurons and the corresponding spinal segments
In the GI system what is the sympathetic component? parasympathetic?
What is located at the end of each line?
What does the celiac ganglion supply?
T 5-9
Distal esophagus
stomach
proximal duodenum
liver
gall bladder
spleen
portions of pancreas
What does the sup mesenteric ganglion supply?
T 10-11
Distal duodenum
portions of the pancreas
jejunum
ascending colon
proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
What does the inf mesenteric ganglion supply?
T12-L2
Distal 1/3 of the transverse colon
descending colon
sigmoid colon
rectum
What does the left vagus n do? right? pelvic splanchnic n?
SD of the pelvic diaphragm leads to what? what can happen due to this?
leads to fluid stasis which causes:
pelvic congestion
viscerosomatic pain
inability to clear infections efficiently
The GI tract is holistically linked through the ____ system.
vascular
Where do GI lymphatics drain? what are the collecting nodes?
Hypothyroidism falls until what model?
metabolic
What is the definition of a visceral dysfunction?
Impaired or altered mobility or motility of the visceral system and related fascial, neurological, vascular, skeletal, and lymphatic elements
When should you stop OMT?
What are CIs to tx of GI?
