25
what organ is related to the ear
the kidney
26
ear pathologies related to kidney
deficiency of kidney can result in hearing impairment or loss, & ear ringing
27
excess consumption of fatty, greasy food can lead to
dampness and heat
28
can damp heat be externally contracted?
yes
29
excess liver yang rising
yin can't hold down yan; signs in the head
30
small intestine channel and the ear
SI channel enters at the ear and imbalances in the channel may affect the ears
31
major cause of pediatric ear infection is
damp heat caused by food stagnation because damp heat rises and clogs the ears
32
with liver blood deficiency one may experience
floaters, dry eyes, etc
33
wind and heat would form what sort of an eye pathology
tearing, burning, swelling, twitching
34
heat and dryness on a continuum so heat affects the eyes would lead to
dry eyes
35
spleen-dampness accumulation can feel like what as an eye pathology
"sand" in the eye
36
what organ governs the nose
lung
37
what channels are found to exhibit pathologies of the nose
lung and spleen
38
what is the relationship to the lung and kidneys
kidney governs water and the lungs are the upper source of water/governs water metabolism AND lung governs Qi and kidney is the root of Qi
39
what organ opens at the mouth
spleen
40
what channels enter the teeth and gums
ST and LI (yang ming). ST channel upper teeth and gums, LI lower teeth and gums
41
what organ engenders bone and marrow
kidney
42
what channels connect to the tongue
spleen and kidney
43
disorders of what orgas are often associated with changes in appetite or ability to taste
spleen and stomach
44
attack of wind-heat in the lungs could mean
sore dry throat
45
what organ opens in the tongue
heart
46
what is responsible for a healthy tongue coat
stomach qi
47
what organ controls the two lower yin
kidney
48
what are the 6 exogenous/pathogenic factors
wind, heat, cold, damp, summer heat, dry
49
what is considered the primary external pathogenic factor
wind because it easily combines with other pathogenic factors such as heat, cold, damp and also phlegm
50
how can untimeliness of climatic factors be a cause of disease?
in the summer, the yang qi flows closer to the surface, making it easier for interstices to open - allowing for sweating. In the winter the yang qi is dormant and the interstices are slower to respond.
51
what directions do wind travel; also what parts of the body does it attack first
up and outward; towards the head and extremities
52
when is wind most prevalent
spring, but can arise anytime
53
what is wind characterized by
sudden onset, rapid changes, and movement
54
what are signs and symptoms of wind
convulsion, tremor, shaking, dizziness, moving, pain, itching, spasms, muscle twitching
55
what are the three primary patterns of wind
1. Liver wind stiring internally: caused by exuberance of LV yang &/or LV fire. 2. Extreme heat engendering wind: related to external pathogenic attack of hot nature. 3. Blood vacuity engendering: more room for yang to be exuberant; created in empty space in vessel with blood
56
cold pathogens are more prevalent in what season
winter, but can arise in other seasons
57
where will cold directly invade
abdomen and internal organs, particularly the uterus
58
what happens to the yang qi when cold invades
cold consumes the yang qi of the body giving rise to signs and symptoms of cold
59
signs and symptoms of cold
aversion to cold, crave warm drinks, white tongue coat, bright pale complexion, thin/watery/ copious excretions (from nose and urine), headache across forehead
60
cold contracts and constructs normal movement, leading to:
qi stagnation and blood stasis
61
when wind combines with cold, it forms
wind-cold
62
heat pathogens are more prevalent in what season
summer ex: summer heat
63
heat moves in what direction to cause what symptoms
upward direction causing red face, eyes, tongue, mental agitation
64
what organ is easily affected by heat/fire?
heart
65
relationship between heat/fire and wind
heat/fire stirs wind causing convulsions, seizures
66
does heat speed up or slow down movement
speeds up movement: causing rapid pulse and "reckless" blood
67
when wind combines with heat, it forms
wind-heat
68
symptoms of wind heat are
sore throat, sticky phlegm, fever, sweating, aversion to heat
69
T/F: all external pathogens can/may at some point transform to heat
T
70
heat/fire excess
red face, forcefull pulse, agitation, profuse sweating, full on fever
71
heat/fire vacuity
aka: empty heat. KD yin vacuity, flush face, heat in 5 centers, tidal fever in evening, rapid but forceless pulse
72
what season is damp most prevalent in
late summer
73
what organ is vulnerable to damp
spleen
74
how can damp arise
as a result from an EPF or be internally generated
75
what is damp characterized by
heaviness and turbidity
76
dryness is most prevalent in what season
fall
77
what organ is most susceptible to dryness
lungs
78
externally contracted dryness is related to what
environment: dry regions/weather, heated apartments in winter
79
internally contracted dryness is related to what
heat
80
summer heat is seen in what season
summer only
81
what direction does summer heat move in
upward as it disperses and consumes body fluids
