A

phlegm is thicker and more viscous while water (rheum) is thinner.

Q

what is fire’s influence on fluid metabolism

31
the basic principles that guide the emergence of disease consist of what three principles
1. insufficiency of right qu (zheng qi) is the internal factor in the emergence of disease 2. evil qi (xie qi) is an essential prerequisite for the emergence of disease 3. the outcome of the fight between zheng qi and xie qi determines whether or not a disease emerges
32
what are the four factors in pathogenesis
1. relative strength and weakness of the right qi and evil qi 2. disharmony of yin and yang 3. imbalances of qi, blood, and body fluid 4. dysfunction of viscera, bowels and extraordinary organs
33
what are the two main types of disease patterns
excess (shi) deficiency (xu)
34
zheng qi
right qi (jing, qi, blood, and fluids) compendium of the active aspects of the body (organs, blood, jing, fluids) and all forms of qi (yuan, construction, defense, organ, and channel) that come together to maintain health and resist disease
35
xie qi
evil qi; including, but not limited to the 6 environments (referred to as the 6 evils when in excess in the body) "any entity in its active aspect of harming the body"
36
when the right qi is strong or the pathogen is weak_
the right qi wins the struggle and can fend off the pathogen; therefore disease does not emerge
37
when the right qi is vacuous and the pathogen is strong_
evils wins the battle and can invade, disrupting natural interrelationships and disease may arise
38
causes of excess disease patterns
six evils epidemic pathogens stagnation and accumulation of: qi, phlegm/water, food blood
39
signs and sx of excess disease patterns
fullness, pain that does not like pressure, panting, wheezing, inhibited urination, vexation, or delirium
40
what are sx of excess heat diseases
high fever, aversion to heat
41
what are sx of excess cold diseases
constriction and pain, aversion to cold
42
what are sx of excess disease in the heart
vexation, agitation, and in severe cases, delirious speech
43
what are sx of excess disease lodged in the lung
panting, wheezing. *if phlegm is exuberant, than rattling is heard on auscultation
44
what are sx of excess disease lodged in intestines
bowel qi is not free, leading to distention, fullness and pain that is worse with pressure
45
what are sx of replete water-damp evil
may block the formation of urine or inhibit the movement of urine
46
what is the pulse like of an excess disease
full and forceful
47
what may the tongue look like with an excess disease
thick and greasy tongue coat (if water turbidity or phlegm steams and rises)
48
causes of deficient (xu) disease patterns
chronic diseases/consumptive diseases (diminish the vital substances and fluids) weakness develops over time. Chronic/consumptive diseases will weaken the right qi
49
s/sx of vacuous yang qi
decreased functions in warming, transporting, protecting and holding leading to: pale facial complexion, physical cold with cold limbs, fatigued spirit with sob, spontaneous sweating, loose stool, frequent urination, pale tongue body
50
s/sx of vacuous yin qi
malar flush afternoon, five centers heat, heart vexation and palpitations, night sweats, red tongue, with little or no fur
51
pulse of dual vacuity of qi and blood
empty and forceless pulse, or thin and forceless
52
external, hot and excess diseases are ascribed to
yang
53
internal, cold and deficient diseases are ascribed to
yin
54
what are the 4 basic patterns of yin/yang disharmony
excess of yang, excess of yin, deficienty of yang, deficiency of yin
55
causes of excess heat
the hyperactivity of yang qi: heat (or fire) or other yang pathogen cold pathogen which has transformed into heat emotional imbalances which can turn into heat qi and blood stagnation turned into depressed heat diet (spicy, greasy food, alcohol_) and improper use of warm herbs
56
s/sx of excess heat
fever, aversion to heat, red face, red eyes, vexation and agitation, rough breathing, loud voice, bitter taste, desire for cold liquids, red urine, boud stool, red tongue body, yellow and dry fur, surging/rapid/forceful pulse
57
causes of excess cold
cold, damp, yin pathogen excessive consumption of raw cold food/herbs or cold medicinals
58
s/x of excess cold
cold body and limbs, aversion to cold, pale tongue, pulse is slow and forceless
59
causes of yang deficiency
congenital deficiencies (weakness of pre-heaven) aquired deficiency (lack of nutrition, overexertion, or chronic disease [organ dysfunction]) old age
60
s/sx of yang deficiency
bright white facial complexion, fatigue, lack of strength, fear of cold, cold limbs and body, lying curled up in fetal position, spontaneous sweating, arge and tender tongue body, slow forceless pulse
61
causes of yin deficiency
congenital deficiencies, pathogenic yang that damages yin, unbalanced emotions (qi stag) that turn into fire and damage yin, chronic disease, overexertion, hot food/herbs, old age
62
s/sx of yin deficiency
dryness, thirst, tidal fever, malar flush, heat of the 5 centers, night sweats, insomnia, tender red tongue with little or no fur, fine pulse
63
in mixed patterns of deficient yin and yang, we assume that what organ is also either yin or yang deficient
Kidney
64
T/F_deficient yin causes damage to yang & deficient yang causes damage to yin
TRUE
65
deficient yin damaging yang
in longstanding cases of yin deficiency the attendant hyperactivity of yang can over time weaken the essential qi of the kidney and weaken the yang
66
s/sx of deficient yin damaging yang
aversion to cold, cold limbs, deep weak pulse, heat signs caused by yin deficiency
67
deficient yang damaging yin
in longstanding cases of yang deficiency essential qi of the kidney is damaged. This leads to generalized qi deficienty and an inability to produce yin fluid
68
s/sx of deficient yang damagint yin
thin body, irritibility, dryness, heat signs in upper burner, cold signs from yang vacuity
69
collapse of yin and yang
a situation in which either yin-fluid or yang-qi is suddenly and excessively lost. The substance collapses. Terminal stage of disease if not promptly and correcly treated death is imminent
70
causes of collapse of yang
pathogen is so strong right qi cannot resist and yang suddenly collapses. Yang qi is Constitutionally weak and with overexertion it collapses. Excessive sweating, bleeding or diarrhea can cuase excessive loss of yang qi
71
s/sx of yang collapse
profuse cold sweat, very cold limbs, sleeping in fetal position, listlessness, faint deep pulse
72
causes of yin collapse
severe pathogenic heat chronic pathogenic heat that consues/exhausts the yin fluid severe bleeding, diarrhea, sweating, vomiting (anything that rapidly depletes yin fluid)
73
s/sx of yin collapse
profuse sticky sweat, warm limbs, shortness of breath, thirst, irritability, rapid and faint pulse
