Q

HOW does LDM stimulate the immune system?

A

moves stagnant fluid out of tissues

into lymph vessels

where it is transported through lymph nodes

and purified by lymphocytes.

Q

Sympathetic nervous system and effects on the body.

A

“Fight or flight”

Causes the body to tense, producing chemicals and hormones.

This reaction depresses the immune system while stressing body systems. (including the cardiovascular system)

Q

How do flap valves work?

A

Flap valves are little doorways that open allowing fluid to enter the lymphatic system.

With body movement these valves flap open allowing fluid to be absorbed into the lymphatic system.

23
Q

What are the 2 different lymphatic ducts (which drains a larger portion of the body)?

A

the right lymphatic duct

the thoracic duct (larger)

24
Q

Which organs contain lymph tissue?

A

lymph nodes

tonsils

spleen

thymus

aggregated lymph nodules in the respiratory and digestive tracts

25
Q

medulla

A

inner part of the lymph node

26
Q

immune cells

“What are the key immune cells in the epidermis?”

A

The key immune cells in the epidermis are:

  • lymphocytes
  • monocytes
  • macrophages
27
Q

3 pairs of tonsils

A

pharyngeal

palatine

lingual

28
Q

adenoids

A

pharyngeal tonsils

29
Q

largest organ of the lymphatic system

A

spleen

30
Q

phagocytized

A

broken down into parts

31
Q

thymus and its importance

A

two lobe organ

an endocrine gland that helps newborns and young children develop antibodies.

32
Q

Explain the functions of the lymphatic system.

A

helps balance fluid

distributes immune cells

rids tissues of excess proteins and toxins

carries digested fat from the intestines to the blood vessels

helps repair damage in injured tissues

33
Q

nonspecific immunity

A

innate resistance (born with)

34
Q

specific immunity

A

must be acquired, depends on the ability of immune cells to produce antibodies

35
Q

Describe the inflammation process.

A

1) Injury occurs
2) bacteria enter through injured tissue
3) damaged cells release chemical signals

4) blood flow and fluid filtration increase into tissues
(heat, redness, swelling, and pain)

5) white blood cells increase
6) bacteria are recognized, attacked, and destroyed
7) fibers in blood create scar tissue to contain the damage and to rebuild the damaged tissue
8) Increased lymph circulation removes debris and cells from the damaged area

36
Q

What happens during an autoimmune disorder?

A

“body attacks it’s own cells”

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body becomes confused recognizing foreign cells and the immune system starts to self attack self cells as if they were foreign invaders.

37
Q

active immunity

A

acquired.

Everyday life exposures to antigens.
Body’s immune system responds by creating antibodies.
This is why adults get sick less than children bc we have built up more antibodies.

38
Q

passive immunity

A

“natural immunity”

passed from mother to child.

39
Q

What is formed when a neutrophil dies?

A

Pus

40
Q

Monocytes:

A

immature macrophages

41
Q

Macrophages:

A

Monocytes mature into macrophages which are 5x larger.

They travel to damages tissue after neutrophils, they are responsible for most of the later stages of infection.

Part of the nonspecific immune system.

42
Q

What do basophils release?

A

histamine

43
Q

What do the chemicals released by eosinophils do?

A

reduce inflammation

44
Q

Natural killer cells (where are they produced and what is their function?)

A

produced in red bone marrow

they recognize and destroy a certain class of cells like tumor cells.

45
Q

Causes of ordinary edema

A

lacking exercise

poor diet

scar tissue

heart or kidney disease

radiation therapy

having allergies

menstruation

emotional tension

medications

46
Q

Contraindications for LDM

47
Q

Indications for LDM

A 
before or after surgery
soft tissue injury
sluggish immune system
stress
chronic fatigue, mild depression, chronic soft tissue pain
traveler's edema
water retention from a salty diet
scar tissue
cellulite
unhealthy skin caused by circulation issues
high blood pressure
chronic colds
48
Q

Massage principles of LDM?

A

move the skin, apply gentle pressure, slow movements, in the proper direction

49
Q

chronic edema with no known cause. what do you do?

A

tell them to see a dr

50
Q

Specific conditions to ask about before performing LDM?

A

heart

blood pressure

blood clots

phlebitis

liver/kidney disease

cancer

51
Q

What to do when a client will not give health info?

A

Explain why it’s important. Don’t see them if they won’t provide info.

52
Q

Axillary

A

armpit

53
Q

Infuinal

A

groin

54
Q

Where do B-cells originate and mature?

A

in the bones

55
Q

Where do T-cells originate and mature?

A

in bone MARROW
