Q

motion segment

A

functional unit ofhe spine consisting of two vertebral boies, the disc in between those bodies, the articular facets, as well as ligaments binding the two vertebrae to one another. the veryebral bodies and the disc make up the antieror motion segment while the posterior motion segment consists of the articular facets

27
Q

muscle spindle

A

a receptor that is sensitive to the length (stretch) of intrafusal fibers

28
Q

neurapraxia

A

type I nerve injury
involves a reverible conduction block characterized by local ischemia and selective demyliation of the axon sheath. the azon’s continuity is retined and although conduction across the nerve injury is inhibited, conduction within the nerve both proximal and distal to the lesion remains intact.

29
Q

prognosis for neurapraxia

A

good
recovery occurs within weeks to months
wrist drop secondary to prolonged external pressure that compresses the radial nerve at the spiral groove of the humerus is a clinical example

30
Q

neurotmesis

A

type III nerve injury
most severe form of nerve injury, associated with coprete nerve division and disruption of endoneurium
poor prognosis

31
Q

what all is injured in neurotmesis

A

axon
myelin sheath
CT

32
Q

nociceptor

A

sensory receptors sensitive to apin

33
Q

osteopathy

A

focus was on the “rule of the artery” and the use of nonspecific manipulation to enhance the flow of the blood

34
Q

perineurium

A

CT that surrounds smaller bundles of nerve fibers

35
Q

plasticity

A

property of a material that instatly deforms when a load is applied and does not retun to its original shape when the load is removed (ex: bone)

36
Q

posteiror motion segment

A

articular facets; responsible for directional guidance; mechanorectpros and niciceptors sorround posterior motion segment

37
Q

proprioceptors

A

receptors in muscles, tendons and joints that detect postiion and motion of the body

38
Q

sclerotogenous pain pattern

A

pain originating from a sclerotome. commonly seen in njury to the facets or SIjoint. pain is dull in nature
poorly localized
(bone on bone pain, not below knee)

39
Q

sinuvertebral nerve (recurrent meningeal nerve)

A

recurrent branches of the primary dorsal rami of the spinal nerves that innervate the fascia, ligaments, periosteum, intervertebral joints and intervertebral disc of the vertebrae
goes to PLL, ligamentum flavum, anterior dura but NOTto the ALL

40
Q

somatic

A

essentially refers to skin, bone, nerve and muscle

41
Q

trophic

A

related to growth and nutrition

42
Q

vertebbral ateries

A

run through the transverse foramina of the cerival vertebra

obstruction of transverse foramina may lead to vertebra artery insufficiency

43
Q

ventral rami

A

innervate the skin and msucles of the trunk and limbs

44
Q

viscera

A

essentially refers to autonomic organs, blood and lymph vessels

45
Q

vitalism

A

principle thtat maintinas laws of physics and chemistry cannot explain the nature of life

46
Q

holism

A

all properties of a given system cannot be determined or explained by its parts alone

47
Q

wolff’s law

A

bone is shaped by forces plated on it or lack of force (immobilization)

48
Q

hilton’s law

A

trunk of a nerve sends branches to aprticular muscle, the joint moved by the muscle and skkin overlying the insertion of a muscle.
altered nerve activity to a muscle may be associated with altered nerve activity to the segmentally related spinal joints

49
Q

heuter-volkman’s law

A

increased epiphyseal pressure leads to decreased growth and vice versa

50
Q

bell magendie

A

anterior horn of the cord is motor while the posterior horn is sensory

51
Q

sherrington’s law

reciprocal inhibition

one muscle relaxes as antagonist contracts

52
Q

davis’s law

A
