a. miosis and lens contraction
b. nasal, lacrimal, gastric inhibition
c. sweating of palms
d. decrease heart rate and contractility

A

Answer: B - nasal, lacrimal, gastric inhibition

Actually, promotes secretion

Also:

  • contracts bronchilar SM
  • contracts GI lumens; dilates sphincter (inc. motility)
  • NO effect on arterioles
  • contracts bladder wall; relaxes trigone
  • erection
  • constricts cervix; relaxes uterus

80
Q

Lower Extremity I: Evaluates Iliopsoas tightness. The patient is situated supine at the edge of the table, while the Dr. flexes one knee to the patient’s chest to flatten lumbar.

Positive test is either increased lumbar lordosis, or if the patient’s leg rises off the table.

A

    - -flex hip joint
    - -some ext. rotation/abduction of hip
  2. Fixed insertion
    - -bilaterally: increase lumbar lordosis
    - -unilaterally: sidebending (same side)
