Answer 16

Ateach peak of a wave the cranium when to Flexion and then extension and then flexion….
At at the bottom of each peak it went back to normal

Question 17

Traub Herind found what after cranial manipulation was done

Answer 17

Waves had much higher amplitude and streghth

Question 18

What effects the CSF P and arterial flow in the brain

Answer 18

Blood supply and oxygen consuption of cerebral tissue(brain funciton itself)
= BLOOD FLOW in brain causes cranial motion

Question 19

Arteries in brain

Answer 19

Have a Pericyte that can sqeeze the BV and also has microglia measures env to turn on or off the pericyte

Question 20

CSF and memory

Answer 20

CSF flushes out memory imparing proteins away from the brain = helps memory

Question 21

OCMM tx otitis media vs antibiotics

Answer 21

OCMM can prevent long term damage of TM and scarring cauing reduced hearing
= fewed GI problems
= lower ICU stay of premature newborns

Question 22

OCMM plagiocephaly

Answer 22

Reduced the plagiocephaly and (alternative to helmet therapy)

Question 23

Neurologic system and OCMM

Answer 23

Reduced dizziness and imporved balance in geriatrics , sleep better in college students

Question 28

Balanced Membranous Tension is done how

Answer 28

1. Exaggerate membranous asymmetry until sense of balance in noted (INDIRECT) = CRI will wiggle or move against force however hold against it 2. Hold until CRI stops at a still point 3. Return to CRI midpoint 4. Recheck motion and symmetry
