Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine Flashcards
5 things with the Primary Respiratory Model for the Brain
- THE INHERENT MOTILITY OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD
- THE FLUCTUATION OF CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID
- THE MOBILITY OF THE INTRACRANIAL AND INTRASPINAL MEMBRANES
- THE ARTICULAR MOBILITY OF THE CRANIAL BONES
- THE INVOLUNTARY MOBILITY OF THE SACRUM BETWEEN THE ILIA
Another name for the Mobility of the Intracranial and Intraspinal Membranes
Reciprocal Tension Membranes (RTM)
5 things in the RTM
- Falx Cerebri
- Tentorium Cerebelli
- Falx Cerebelli
- Anterior Dural Gurdle
- Spinal Dura
The Falx Cerebri attaches where?
CONFLUENCE OF SINUSES AND RUNS ANTERIORLY ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE SAGITTAL AND METOPIC SUTURES, FINALLY ATTACHING AT CRISTA GALLI OF THE ETHMOID
The Falx Cerebri is a duplication of what and houses what?
Dura; Superior sagittal sinus
Attachments of Tentorium Cerebelli
- Free edge
2. Attached edge
Free edge of Tentorium Cerebelli journey
STARTS AT THE JUNCTION OF THE STRAIGHT SINUS AND GREAT VEIN OF GALEN
TRAVELING ANTERIORLY THE FREE EDGE THEN ATTACHES TO THE ANTERIOR CLINOID PROCESSES
Attached Border of Tentorium Cerebelli journey
STARTING AT THE CONFLUENCE OF SINUSES OF OCCIPUT
TRAVELS LATERALLY ALONG THE RIDGE OF THE TRANSVERSE SINUSES
THEN ANTERIORLY ALONG THE PETROUS PORTION OF TEMPORAL
ATTACHES AT POSTERIOR CLINOID PROCESSES

Craniosacral Flexion = ?
Sacro-Innominate Extension
Craniosacral Extension = ?
Sacro-Innominate Flexion
Midline bones
Occiput, sphenoid, ethmoid, vomer, sacrum
How does each midline bone move?
Rotate about its transverse axis
Where is physiological flexion in?
