Q

5 components of the PRM

A
  1. Mobility of brain and SC
  2. CSF fluctuation
  3. Mobility of intracranial and intraspinal membranes
  4. Articulatory mobility of cranial bones
  5. Passive mobility of the sacrum

Q

What is the reciprocal tension membrane (RTM)

A

Philosophy that meninges and SC link the cranium to the sacrum and create reciprocal motion.
AKA the “core link”

Q

what suture is between the temporal and zygomatic process?

A

temporozygomatic

17
Q

what suture is between the two parietal bones

A

Sagittal

18
Q

What are the Anterior fontanelle and posterior fontanelle referred to as in an adult, respectively?

A

Bregma

Lambda

19
Q

The basisphenoid and basiocciput join to make what structure?

A

Sphenobasilar Synchondrosis (SBS)

20
Q

SBS flexion

A

SBS moves superiorly and the occiput moves inferiorly, closing the angle between them

21
Q

SBS extension

A

SBS moves inferiorly and the occiput moves superiorly to open the angle between them

22
Q

SBS extension causes what change in the shape of the skull and is paired with what respiratory motion?

A

Elongates the face and makes the cheekbones. prominent during exhalation
Think Bert’s head

23
Q

SBS flexion causes what change in the shape of the skull and is paired with what respiratory motion?

A

Makes the skull more spherical during inhalation

Ernie’s head

24
Q

What travels through the Foramen Rotundum?

A

CN V2 (Maxillary)

25
Q

What travels through the Foramen Ovale?

A

CN V3 (Mandibular)
Accessory Meningeal Artery
Lesser Petrosal Nerve (Efferent CN IX to Parotid Gland)

26
Q

What travels through the Foramen Spinosum?

A

Middle Meningeal Artery

Meningeal branch of mandibular nerve

27
Q

What travels through Foramen Lacerum?

A

Internal Carotid A

28
Q

Which Sacral Axis does Respiratory motion occur?

A

Superior Transverse

29
Q

Which sacral axis does postural movement (flexion/extension) occur?

A

Middle Transverse

30
Q

What sacral Axis does movement of the ilia occur?

A

Inferior Transverse

31
Q

Nutation

A

sacral base moves anteriorly

Paired with SBS extension during exhalation

32
Q

Counternutation

A

sacral base moves posteriorly

Paired with SBS flexion during inhalation

33
Q

T/F: CRI stops if patient holds their breath

A

False, respiration is not the only driver of CRI

CRI is a product of CSF, Volume, Pressure, and Metabolite changes

34
Q

What is a Trade Hering Wave (TH)?

A

change in arterial blood pressure what occurs about 6/min that coincides with SBS flexion and Extension in a 2:1 fashion (2 TH to get back to starting position)

35
Q

What is a still point?

A

Decreased TH waves

36
Q

What cell regulates blood flow to the brain?

A

Glial Cells
