OCMM Midline And Paired Bones

Question 1

Occiput, sphenoid, ethmoid, and vomer move how to eachother (which move the same)

Answer 1

Occiput + Ethmoid move the same

Vomer + Sphenoid move the same

Question 2

Eustachian tube is where

Answer 2

Between temporal bone and sphenoid bone

Question 3

Temporal exis location

Answer 3

Inferior to petrou ridge

Question 4

Frontal bone has what special thing on it

Answer 4

Infants have the metopic suture dividing it in half that 10% people still have and can feel

Question 5

Vault Contact where each finger goes**

Answer 5

1. INDEX : greater wing of sephnoid
2. MIDDLE : anterior to ear (temporal bone, in front of external auitory canal)
3. RING : on mastoid process behind ear (below the auditory canal)
4. PINKY : occiput
5. THUMB : contact frontal / parietal bones
6. PALM : rest on PARIETALS

Question 6

Frontal Occipital Contact where are fingers

Answer 6

1. Hand on occiput

2. Hand with thumb and middle finger / index(if reachable) on greater wing of spenoid , Palm rest on fronal bone

Question 7

Becker Contact where are the fingers

Answer 7

Thumbs on greater wing of spenoid, all other fingers are behind ear (index on mastoid, middle to pinky occiput with middle behind occiitalmastoid suture), palms on parietal and occiput

Question 8

Sidebenign 2 axes involved and what direction they go

Answer 8

1. Sagittal (Ant + Post) = SAME direction as motion

2. Vertical (Inf + Sup) = OPPOSITE direction as motion

Question 9

Sidebending direction does what

Answer 9

The side that gets bigger with fingers spreading apart

= side of sidebending

Question 10

Vertical strains directions and how to know

Answer 10

Occiput and sphenoid move in SAME direction

1. SUPERIOR : base spenoid up + Spenoid moves ANTERIORLY
2. INFERIOR : base of sphenoid moves down + spenoid moves POSTERIORLY

Question 11

Superior vs inferior strain with imagining holding a ball

Answer 11

Superior = rolls away from you 
Inferior = rolls towards you

Question 12

Lateral Strains are what

Answer 12

Occiput and sphenoid move in SAME directions

1. Base of sphenoid moving tells you the direction
2. HANDS : hand that shows nail polish is the direction of the lateral strain (or hand with pinky finger is most lateral)

Question 13

Compression is what and moves on what axis

Answer 13

Base of sphenoid gets compressed

- Sagittal axis

Question 14

Compressoin can happen due to what

Answer 14

Depression + anxiety (tension in body + slows craniorhythmic impulse), trauma (hitting head)

Question 15

Compression feels like

Answer 15

Many inconsistent movements (directions and strains)

Question 16

Nutation vs counternutation

Answer 16

Nutation : nod towards the nuts (extension of SBS, flextion of sacrum = Exhalation)
Counternutation : flexsion of SBS, extension of sacrum = Inhalation

Question 17

Blow where can effect SBS directly

Answer 17

At Sidebending (right bu audiory canal)

Question 18

Trauma would happen where for :

1. Lateral strain
2. Vertical strain
3. Torsion

Answer 18

1. In front or behind the SBS (movign either occiput or the sphenoid)
2. Something making yuor head look up —> superior, something makign your head look down —-> inferior
3. Tilting head on hand for example movement or blow
