What do the midline/paired bones do during flexion?
the midlines flex, and the paired bones externally rotate (go away from midline)
what do the midline paired bones do during extension
the mid line bones go into extension, while the paired bones internally rotate (go to midline)
during crainal sacral flexion, what do the SBS and sacal base do?
the SBS rises, and the sacral base counter nutates (the coccyx is pulled superior so to speak)

this is flexternal rotation
all crainal bones move awy from midline,
should feel hands being drawn away down toward torso
what motion is observed in the extension phase of the CRI?

What does the SBS and the sacrum do in flex?
SBS- rises

scarum- moves posterior (called counter nutation) (the sacrum sits upright)

(note: so the occiput can affect the jaw...by affecting the temporal bones)
what is the axis of motion for the occiput?
this is a transverse axis
what kind of bone is formed in membrane?
smooth flat bones
what kind of bone is formed in cartilage?
thick, bumpy bone
what axis does the sphenoid move around?
a transverse axis, in the area of the sella turcica
How does the sphenoid move during flexion (the individual parts of the sphenoid itself)
the Base rises
greater wings move anterior, lateral, and inferior (forward rotation around the transverse axis of the sphenoid)
the pterygoids moves posterior and inferolaterally
the body expands slightly laterally. (yes...a bone expands for no reason at all!)
What can compression at the sphenoid articulation with the ethmoid affect?
this can affect smell
What CN's pass through the superior orbital fissure
3,4,6, V1
what is contained in the sella turcica?
the pituitary gland

V2
What CN's pass through the foramen ovale?
V3
What CN's pass through the foramen spinosum?
V3 and middle meningeal artery
How does the SBS and sacrum move during extension?
the SBS will descend

the Sacrum will rock anteriorly
how do the temporal bones move in flexion?
these externally rotate
how do the temporal bones move in extension?
internal rotation
what is the frontal bone formed in?
this is formed in membrane, as it is smooth
when does the mectopic suture usually ossify?
by age 6 (this is the frontal bone)
Is the frontal bone, one bone, or two bones?
it is regarded as two bones, functionally. how stupid.
What does the frontal bone do during flexion
this does external rotation, with the glabella flattening,
and in the ILAs become more broad
what does the frontal bone do during extension?
this does internal rotation, where the glabella goes anterior, and the ILA's narrow
where are the parietal bones formed?
in membrane
how does the parietal bones move in flexion?
this is external rotation. the inferior borders move laterally. becomes shorter and widens!
how do the parietal bones move in extension?
these become tall and narrow (internal rotation)
what is the axis that the parietal bones move around?
this axis runs parallel to the sagittal suture.
In the vault hold, where does the little finger go?
this goes parallel to the occipital curve
in the vault hold, where does the ring finger go?
this is placed on the mastoid process of the temporal bone
in the vault hold, where does the middle finger go?
just in front of the acoutic meatus, on the zygomatic process.
in the vault hold, where does the index finger go?
on the greater wing of the sphenoid
in the vault hold, where do the thumbs go?
these rest on the frontal bones
What is the purpose of the Frontal Lift?
to internally rotate the frontal bones (or extend them..)
disengage them from their bases
lift anteriorly
This will then permit external rotation.
what is the purpose of the Parietal lift?
to internally rotate the parietal bones
lift them cephalad
permit external rotation
How is the temporal bone release performed?
you assist flexion and extension of the temporal bone by pressing on the mastoid processes
In a torsion, what two bones are moving?
the occiput, and the sphenoid
How is a torsion named?
it is named for the WIDE side.
on the wide side of a torsion, how does the sphenoid move? and the occiput?
the sphenoid will be HIGH on the Wide side (this hand in the vault position will rotate back to physician)

the occiput will be LOW on the wide side
What kind of force causes sidebending?
getting punched in the side of the head, causes the other side of the head to become wide
in a sidebending disorder, how are sidebending and rotation related?
they are type 1, opposite of eachother
how is a sidebending disorder named?
it is named for the side of the convexity
this will be opposite from the way sidebending actually occurs (the two bones bend/pinch in on one side...which makes the other side wide. this is the side it is named for, the wide side.)....ALSO...it rotates to the wide side!
What kind of motion does a vertical strain induce?
this causes the sphenoid and the occiput to rotate in the same direction around their respective axis (when normally, they would rotate opposite directions)
In a lateral strain, how do the occiput and sphenoid move?
the rotate the same direction around their vertical axises. this produces a shearing motion at the SBS
how is a lateral strain named?
this is named for which direction the base of the sphenoid moves when the sphenoid rotates around its vertical axis
what are the only two contraindications for CV4?
epileptic seizures
encephalitis
What motion are you supposed to encourage in a CV4?
encourage extension, inhibit flexion
How is the V-spread performed?
this uses a bodys inherent motion to help release a restricted suture. you facilitate the motion using the v spread hold.
How does CV4 affect the CRI?
it increases the amplitude of the CRI
what is trigeminal neuralgia/ tic douloureux
this is a sensory disorder of CN V, believed to be an impinged root. - causes severe pain to mild stimuli.
What EXACT percent of venous drainage from the brain passes from the sigmoid sinus in the internal jugular vein?
94%
To release the occipital sinus, where do you place your fingers?
midline on the external occipital protuberance, then move inwards towards the foramen magnum while you wait for bone to soften, the seas to part, and angels to sing
to release the transverse/straight sinus, where do you put your fingers?
place them on the superior nuchal line, to the inferior lateral angle of the parietal bone.
maintain contact here, wait for second coming
to release the superior and inferior sagittal sinus where do you put your fingers?
you put them across the midline suture, and gently try to pry their head open until the bones soften. (sagittal suture to bregma)
How do you treat SBS compression?
vault hold
resist flexion of the CRI for 2-3 cycles until it reaches the still point.

once at still point, lift the greater wing of the sphenoid anterior, until you hear angels sing, and the seas part.

then let go of sphenoid after the angels sing, and let it re seat
what are the findings in a sacral torsion?
here the sacral base, and apex, are posterior on the same side. usually accompanies an SBS torsion
