Q

Components of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism

A

1) Inherent Motility of the Brain and Spinal Cord
2) Fluctutation of CSF
3) Mobility of Intracranial and Instraspinal membranes
4) Articular Mobility of the Cranial bones
5) Involuntary mobility of the sacrum

2
Q

What do your fingers palpate in a vault hold?

A

1) Index = greater wing of the sphenoid
2) Middle = squamous portion of temporal bone
3) Ring finger = mastoid portion of temporal bone
4) Little finger on the lateral angle of occiput

3
Q

What occurs in inhalation/flexion?

A

1) Sphenobasilar synchondrosis is elevated
2) External rotation of paired bones
3) Sphenoid rotates anteriorly
4) Occiput rotates posteriorly
5) Sacrum is pulled up and posterior

4
Q

What occurs in exhalation/extension?

A

1) Sphenobasilar synchondrosis is lowered
2) Internal rotation of paired bones
3) Sphenoid rotates posteriorly
4) Occiput rotates anteriorly
5) Sacrum goes down and anterior

5
Q

What are the axis of Side bending/Rotation?

A

1) Two vertical parallel axes

2) AP axis

6
Q

What is the motion of a Side bending/rotation?

A

1) Sphenoid and occiput rotate in opposite direction in vertical axis
2) Sphenoid and occiput rotate in same direction on AP axis
