Internally rotated Temporal Bone

22
Q

A

T1 - T4

23
Q

Torticollis is from what CN dysfunction?

A

11

24
Q

In children the cranium is fully ossified, but what is still open?

A

Epiphyseal plates are still open –> growing pains with rapid growth

25
Q

A

Lymphatics

26
Q

A

T1 - T4

28
Q

If a child has URI symptoms for longer than 10 days, it initially improved but then worsened and has associated purulent discharge, what is the likely diagnosis?

A

Bacterial Sinusitis

29

31
Q

With children that have Asthma, diaphragm and rib dysfunctions are common. What specific type of rib dysfunctions?

A

Inhalation dysfunctions

32
Q

What OMM treatment can be used for Asthma?

A

Rib raising

–> SNS of T1 - T7

33
Q

What are the 2 PNS locations that are treatable with their corresponding nerves?

A

OA/AA = Vagus

S2 - S4 = Pelvic Splanchnic

34
Q

What does the PNS Vagus innervate?

A

Upper GI –> Transverse Colon

35
Q

What does the PNS pelvic splanchnics innervate?

A

Descending colon –> rectum

36
Q

If you increase the tone of the OA/AA or S2 - S4, what will occur?

A

Increased peristalsis (PNS)

37
Q

SNS celiac ganglion levels and what it innervates?

A

T5 - T9 = Upper GI –> duodenum

38
Q

SNS superior mesenteric ganglion levels and what it innervates?

A

T10 - T 11 = Middle GI –> splenic flexure

39
Q

SNS inferior mesenteric ganglion and what it innervates?

A

T12 - L2 = Splenic flexure –> rectum

40
Q

If you increase the tone of the SNS from T5 - L2, what will occur?

A

Decreased peristalsis

41
Q

If you are treating GERD, what levels of the PNS/SNS should you treat?

A
PNS = vagus at the OA
SNS = celiac ganglion at the T5 - T9
42
Q
