Reproductive system CIS Flashcards
Nerves for erection
Pudendal N- S2,3,4 (somatic)
Pelvic Splanchnic N- S2,3,4 (Parasympathetic)
Nerves for Orgasm
Lumbar Splanchnic N. L1,2 (sympathetic)
Nerves for Ejaculation
Lumbar Splanchnic N via hypogastric N (sympathetics) to Vas and Seminal vesicles
What promotes lymphatic flow?
- Pelvic diaphragm (active)
- Thoracic diaphragm (passive)
Anterior chapman point of prostate
Posterior margin if ITB
Anterior chapman point of ovaries/testes
Supra pubic bone
Other facilitation in erection
L1-2
Sacrum
Inferior Mesenteric Ganglion
Supine lumbar ME
Patient supine with knees bent
- Rotation: knees L or R
- Sidebend: feet L or R
Standard ME cycle
Pelvic Diaphragm Redoming
Patient supine with knees bent
- Fingers in ipsilateral Ischial Rectal Fossa on pelvic diaphragm
- Pt contracts pelvic floor, ME cycle
- Perform B/L
Congestive stage
- Poor drainage from legs
- Greater volume
- Ball-valve effect
- Impaired diaphragmatic motion
- Volume of abdomen
Treat: sacral, lumbar, thoracic, cervical
Useful techniques for pregnant woman in congestive stage
- SI joint articulation
- Supine sacral MET
Structure and function dysfunctions in dysmenorrhea
structural dysfunction: lymphatic and venous congestion- impedes the ability of the pelvic cavity to drain vascular and lymphatic fluids causing edema
Treat junctional areas to target diaphragms and improve fluid motion:
- Thoracolumbar junction
- Lumbosacral junction
- Diaphragms
Viscerosomatic dysfunction in dysmenorrhea
Visceral irritaiton causes reflex changes at the:
- Thoraco-lumbar junction
- Lumbosacral junction
- Sacrum/sacroiliac joints
Lumbo-sacral junction HVLA
- Evaluate for LSJ rotation
- Place pt on side with rotation side up
- Isolate to the LSJ from below and above
- Log roll to gain mechanical advantage
- Thrust into the barrier
- Recheck your findings
Sacral rocking
Effective for fluid mobilization.
Takes the sacral base anteriorly into the “extension phase” of the craniosacral mechanism which is equivalent to performing a CV4 cranial technique.
Improves pt’s parasympathetic outflow to the involved organ
