Oseopathic Cranial Manipulaion Medicine Introduction - Anatomy And Movement

Question 1

5 elements of Cranial respiratory movements

Answer 1

1. Inheren motility of the brain and spinal cord
2. Fluctuation of CSF
3. Mobility of the intracranial and intraspinal membranes
4. Articular mobility of the cranial bones
5. Mobility of the sacrum between the ilia that is interdependent with motion og the sphenobasilar synchondrosis (SBS)

Question 2

What do we think causes cranial respiration now

Answer 2

Cerebral BF controlles it

Question 3

What moves in the cranial part

Answer 3

Not the mucles

Maybe the glial cells and BF in brain cuases it to move

Question 4

What moves the CSF around the brain

Answer 4

The CRanial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI)

= CSF washes away proteins and pumped around the brain from the Choroid plexus in 3rd and 4th ventricle where its made

Question 5

RRADS and what is each

Answer 5

R : Rate = 10-14bpm
R : Rhythm = like ocean tides comming at regular rhythm some bring smaller and some bigger here and there
A : Amplitude = how high is the wave
D : Direction = linear is normal , at times it can go to one side or twist in a way
S : Streghth = how strong is the wave

Question 6

The Reciprocal Tension Membrane is made of and does what

Answer 6

1. Tentorium and the Falx

2. Holds bones together and acts like a spring when there is movements

Question 7

Reciprocal Tension Membrane attaches at what 4 bones

Answer 7

Frontal
Sphenoid
Temporal
Occipital

Question 8

Which sinus comes from the falx

Answer 8

Straight sinus

Question 9

Sinus coming from superior nucal ridge

Answer 9

Transverse sinus

Question 10

Cranial Flexion

Answer 10

SBS rises superiorly = inferiror angle of spenoid and occiput distance DEcreases
1. Base of occiput and base of sphenoid move superiorly
2. Greater wing moves inferior and anterior
3. Head widens and increases volume
== INHALATION

Question 11

Cranial Extension

Answer 11

SBS moves inferiorly , distance between inferior angle of sphenoid and occiput INcreases

1. Base of occipu dnspenoid move inferiorly
2. Occipital moves suprerior and anteriorly , greater wing moves superior and posterior
3. Tall and narrow space

= EXHALATION

Question 12

Mobility of sacrum happens from what and axis that all these bones rotate on and location of respirtory pivoit poitn that moves

Answer 12

Dura being stretched when the base of the sphenoid rises

= transverse axis
= body of C2

Question 13

Nutation of the sacrum

Answer 13

Base of sacrum moves down / anterior =dural release during inhalaltion
Apex moves posterior

= SBS extension

Question 14

SBS is what kind of joint

And all other joints in the cranium are what

Answer 14

Synchondrosis = Hyaline cartilagenous joint (very strong with a lot of mobilty)

= all others are fibrocartilagenous = symphysis

Question 15

Midline bones move when, on what axis and which direction

Answer 15

Move in flexion and exension
MOve on transverse axis anterior and posterior
(Occiput and sphenoid)

Question 16

Paired bones moves when and on what axis and which direction

Answer 16

Move in internal and exteral rotation with variable axes

Flexion = External rotation (Flexternal) 
Extension = Internal rotation

Question 17

Bones part of the Cranial Vault

Answer 17

1. Frontal
2. Parietals
3. Squamous Temporal
4. Squamous Occiput
5. Greater Wing of Sphenoid

Question 18

Bones of the Facial area

Answer 18

1. Frontal
2. Lacrimal
3. Maxillary
4. Nasal
5. Palatine
6. Zygoma
7. Inferior nasal Concha

Question 19

Paired bones in cranial vault and how they move (think how do paired bones move)

Answer 19

Frontals
Parietals
Temporals
= move in external (inhalation, flexion) and internal rotation (exhalation, extension)

Question 20

Paired bones on face and how they move

Answer 20

Maxilla
Palatines
Zygomae

= move in external (inhalation, flexion) and internal rotation (exhalation, extension)

Question 21

Temporal bone is moving on what axis

Answer 21

60 degree axis (external and internal rotation)

Question 22

Fronal bone axis it moves on

Answer 22

Vertical axis going through the orbital fossa (move in external and interal rotation)

Question 23

The vomer moves what bone and axis it moves on

Answer 23

Moves the palate

= SBS flextion ——> depresses the hard palate (wide flate palate)

Question 24

Name all the CN that go out these holes in the cranium

Answer 24
