STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
How do you name rotation SD of a vertebral body? - ANSWER From a point on the anterior/superior
surface - in relation to the body below it



Somatic dysfunctions are always named for ___? - ANSWER Freedom of motion



Diagnosis of SD? - ANSWER TART: Requires 2 of the 4 (except tenderness doesn't count)

- tenderness

- asymmetry

- restricted ROM

- tissue texture change

(- sensitivity)



Differentiate TART in acute vs. chronic SD. - ANSWER Acute T = edema, boggy, MUSCLES HYPERTONIC

vs

Chronic T = no edema, cool dry skin, DECREASED MUSCLE TONE, ropy



Acute A = present

Chronic A = present with compensation in other areas of the body



Acute R = present & painful with movement

Chronic R = present & decreased or no pain



Acute T = severe/sharp

Chronic T = dull, achy, burning

,Define hysteresis - ANSWER To lag or come behind ("stress-strain")

The time between elasticity & creep

Unloading takes longer than loading (CT moves more slowly back to its original shape)



Define creep - ANSWER The capacity of fascia and other tissues to lengthen when under constant
tension (accommodate the new tension) so there is less resistance to a second load; eventually they
loose the ability to "bounce back"



Anatomic barrier is the limit to what motion? Physiologic barrier is the limit to what motion? - ANSWER
Passive; Active



Define elastic barrier - ANSWER Barrier between anatomic & physiologic



In what plane and axis do these motions occur:

1) Flexion/Extension

2) Rotation

3) Sidebending - ANSWER 1) Sagittal, transverse

2) Transverse (horizontal), vertical

3) Coronal, AP



Define vertebral unit - ANSWER Includes 2 adjacent vertebrae and their associated disk, arthrodial,
ligamentous, muscular, vascular, lymphatic and neural elements



When do we use Fryette's principles? What are they? - ANSWER ONLY used for lumbar & thoracic
vertebra to define physiologic motion



Principle 1 = Type 1 SD: opposite SB/R, neutral, 2 or more segments, postural & maintained by long
restrictors



Principle 2 = Type 2 SD: same side SB/R, flexed or extended, 1 segment only, traumatic & maintained by
short restrictors

,Principle 3 = inducing motion in one plane reduces motion in the other 2 planes



What are the superior articular facet orientations? - ANSWER "BUM BUL BUM"

Cervical: backwards/upwards/medial

Thoracic: backwards/upwards/lateral

Lumbar:

backwards, upwards, medial



Where are SNS & PSNS autonomics found? - ANSWER SNS: T1-L2 (NOT L3-L5)

PSNS: CN III, VII, IX, X (OA & cervicals) and S2-4 (pelvic splanchnics)



VS Reflexes for head & neck, appendix, and cervix? - ANSWER Head & neck: T1-4

Appendix: T12

Cervix: PSNS only S2-4



VS reflexes for heart, lungs, stomach? - ANSWER Heart: T1-5

Lungs: T1-6

Stomach: T5-8



VS reflexes for adrenals, KUB, ovary, uterus, testicle? - ANSWER Adrenals: T10

KUB: T10-1

Ovary: T9-10

Uterus: T10-1

Testicle: T9-10 & L1-2



VS reflexes for arms, legs, prostate, epididymis, adrenal medulla? - ANSWER Arms: T2-8

Legs: T11-2

Prostate: L1-2

, Epididymis: T9-10 & L1-2

Adrenal medulla: T10



Which organs have only PSNS VS? Only SNS? - ANSWER Cervix (S2-4) = PSNS only

Arms, legs, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, prostate = SNS only



The greater splanchnic nerve and lesser splanchnic nerves are associated with which VS reflex organs
(including levels)? - ANSWER Greater splanchnic: Upper GI T5-9 (stomach, liver, GB, spleen, part of
pancreas, duodenum)



Lesser splanchnic: Middle GI T10-11 (pancreas, jejeunum, ileum, ascending colon, proximal 2/3
transverse colon aka R colon) and Lower GI (distal 1/3 T colon, DC, sigmoid colon aka L colon, rectum),
and Appendix (T12)



The celiac ganglion is associated with which VS reflex organs (including levels)? Levels? - ANSWER Celiac
ganglion: Upper GI (stomach, liver, GB, spleen, part of pancreas, duodenum)

T5-9



The superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric ganglia are associated with which VS reflex organs
(including levels)? - ANSWER SMG: Small intestine below duodenum, right colon, kidneys, adrenals,
gonads.

T10-11



IMG: Left colon, bladder, fallopian tubes, uterus.

T12-L2



What nerves supply PSNS viscera above & below the diaphragm? - ANSWER Vagus above & Pelvic
splanchnics below



Describe the PSNS innervation of the GI system. - ANSWER Vagus: entire SI + AC + proximal 2/3 TC.

Pelvis splanchnics: distal 1/3 TC to rectum.
