Review II Flashcards
viscerosomatic reflexes
visceral stimuli produce reflex response in segmentally somatic structures
-tissue texture abnormality and tenderness in dermatomes and myotomes that share innervation with etiologic pathology

facilitation level
where we palpate TART changes with viscerosomatic reflexes
chapmans points
gangliform contraction that may block lymph drainage, causing inflammation of distal tissues
- often a nodule
- sympathetic dysfunction
clinical uses:
- diagnosis
- influencing motion of fluids - lymph
- influencing visceral function through PNS
myocardium chapmans A
2nd ICS b/l
adrenal chapmans A
2-2.5” above and 1” lateral on either side of umbilicus
appendix chapman A
upper end 12th rib near tip on right
bladder chapmans A
around umbilicus - and pubic symphysis close to median line
bronchus chapmans A
2nd ICS next to sternum b/l
cerebellum chapmans A
tip of coracoid process b/l
colon chapmans A
entire right and left femur
going down right - cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon
going down left - transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid
