OCF + cranial lab Flashcards
5 tenants of primary respiratory mechanism
- the fluctuation of the CSF and the potency of the tide
- the mobility of the intracranial and intraspinal membranes, and the function of the reciprocal tension membrane.
- the inherent motility of the CNS
- the articular mobility of the cranial bones
- the involuntary mobility of the sacrum between the ilia
tenet 1 is what? and what is it talking about?
- the fluctuation of the CSF and the potency of the tide
- CSF is drained by the paravascular and extracellular spaces of the CNS
- cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI)
cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI)
- fluctuation of the CSF has 2 characteristics:
1. physical potency/energy that acts throughout the body as a hydrodynamic mechanism
2. electrical potential acting in pos and neg phases - both are integrated with the reciprocating motility of the CNS
- occurs at 10-14 cycles/min in normal adult
tenet 2 is what? and what is the concept related to tenet 2?
- the mobility of the intracranial and intraspinal membranes, and the function of the Reciprocal Tension Membrane
- Reciprocal Tension Membrane
fx of dura
- partition
- support
- shock-absorbing
- stress-meeting
- dura is contiguous with periostium of calvarium (inside and out) and forms the falxes and tentorium
attachments of the falx cerebri
- crista galli of the ethmoid
- frontal bones along the metopic suture
- parietal bones along the sagittal suture
- occiput
- tentorium cerebelli
attachments of the tentorium cerebelli
- posterior clinoid processes of the sphenoid
- petrous ridges
- mastoid portion of the temporals
- posteroinferior angles of the parietals
- transverse ridges of the occiput
attachments of the falx cerebelli
- tentorium cerebelli
2. occiput to foramen magnum
what happens during inhalation phase?
- flexion of SBS, external rotation of paired bones
- falx cerebri shifts anteriorly in the arc of its sickle
- crista galli moves posteriorly
- tentorium cerebelli shifts anteriorly and flattens, but is not relaxed
- venous sinuses change in shape from V to ovoid with increased capacity for drainage of blood (venous sinuses do not contain mm within walls to enhance return of blood into circulation)
- midline bones move into flexion
- paired bones move into external rotation
- cephalad pull on spinal dura causes sacral base to move posterosuperiorly while the apex moves toward the pubic symphysis
what happens during exhalation phase?
- extension of SBS, internal rotation of paired bones
- falx cerebri shifts posteriorly in the arc of its sickle
- crista galli moves anteriorly
- tentorium cerebelli shifts posteriorly and rises
- venous sinuses change in shape from ovoid to V with decreased capacity for drainage of blood
- midline bones move into extension
- paired bones move into internal rotation
- caudad pull on spinal dura causes scral base to move anteroinferiorly while the apex moves away from the pubic symphysis
what is sutherland fulcrum?
- floating, shifting point of balance
- it is the common origin of the 3 sickle-shaped agencies
tenet 3: what is it? and why does it occur?
- inherent motility of the CNS
- oligodendroglial cells pulsate in culture
- Ram’s horn development of the cerebrum: coiling and uncoiling of the hemi-cerebri which changes the volume of the ventricles and leads to pumping of the CSF. If oligodendroglial cells pulsate, then entire organ pulsates
tenet 4: what is it?
- the articular mobility of the cranial bones
- periostium of the inside of the skull splits into 2 layers at the suture and forms a fibrous capsule over the edge of the bone
- fiber bundles and sinusoidal blood vessels are in the central zone of the sutures
- periostium is contiguous with the dura mater and falxes
- movement in the sutures different from other joints in body: more of a resiliency of living, pliant bone
- small motion at SBS which is amplified in the vault due to a vector arc
sphenobasilar synchondrosis: which 2 bones are involved in the articulation? when is the articulation ossified?
- occiput and sphenoid
2. ossified by 25
what is laid down in the cranial vault?
- cranial vault is laid down in membrane in utero
- base is laid down in cartilage
