"What lymphatics
drain the lungs?"
"Right lymphatic duct
(The same as the heart)
"
What are the autonomic levels for the lungs?
"Sympathetics
=
T1-T6
Parasympathetics
=
CN X
OA, C1, C2"
Palpatory testing for somatic dysfunction in patients with pulmonary disease typically reveals disfunction at what levels?
"T1-T9 (mostly T1-T5)
C2-C4"
"Effect of parasympathetic stimulation on the bronchial glands
"
"Bronchial glands are Inhibited resulting in an
Increased Ciliated/Goblet Ratio and hence thinning mf ucous. Bronchial muscles also constrict"
Sympathetic Levels Lungs?
T1-T6
Sympathetic Levels Trachea & Bronchi?
T1-T6
Sympathetic Levels Visceral Pleura?
T1-T6
Sympathetic Levels Parietal Pleura?
T1-T11
Sympathetic effects on bronchial muscles
"Dilation of bronchial muscles"
Vasoconstriction: diminishes nutrient supply to the tissues (incl. medications) & reduces lymphaticovenous drainage.
"When treating a patient with bronchospasm which side of the autonomic system should be treated first?
Why?"
"Treat the parasympathetic side of the autonomic system first to decrease any neurally mediated bronchoconstriction"

If the sympathetic side of the system is treated first, the patient may go into acute refractory bronchospasm"
Sympathetic effects on bronchial glands
"Increased number of goblet cells with decreased vascular elements -> Leads to thick and sticky respiratory"
Inhibits secretion -> leading to dryness and cracking of the mucosa allowing for secondary bacterial infections B"
epithelium (hyperplasia) -> decreased mobility f the mucous
Why is parasympathetic dominance of the respiratory system important?
" It keeps the bronchial mucous secretions clear and saliva-like, yet sticky, while easing ciliary clearance
"
What is the importance of parasympathetic dominance for the respiratory airways?
"To keep the mucous secretions clear and saliva-like but sticky. Also to ease ciliary clearance
"
Stretch receptors transmit signals via the___. When the lungs are inflated, how does this affect respiration?
"Vagus Nerve: when the lungs are inflated this signal turns off respiration
"
T/F: The vagus reflex is sensitive to stretch caused by air & fluid - causing cessation or slowing of the respiratory signal.
"FALSE: it does not differentiate.
The carotid body, in contrast, senses need for more oxygen and an increased rate of respiration"
"The ___ reflex mechanism cannot distinguish between air sacs filled with air and those filled with fluid
"Hering-Breuer Reflex"
How does parasympathetic dominance of the respiratory system affect smooth muscle tone?
"This dominance does cause a slight amount of increased smooth muscle tone of the bronchial tubes
"
"Type of stimulation responsible for the production of profuse, clear, & thin secretions from the mucosa of the nasophayrnx and sinuses
"
"Parasympathetic Hyperactivity: Also Bronchoconstriction
Pulmonary vasodilation
"
What baroreceptor is sensitive to oxygen?
"Carotid Body - sends its signals to the respiratory center
(medulla)"
With lung tissue congestion, the respiratory center receives information from the vagus nerve: what happens next?
"This limits the excursion of the diaphragm"
"Posture: Diaphragm's greatest excursion is in what position?"
"The supine position"
"Thoracic Diaphragm motion increases the volume of the thorax in __ planes of motion.
Describe these"
"3 Planes of Motion"
What are the 3 planes of motion of the throacic diaphragm?
"*Inferior/Superior*
(limited by mediastinum)
*Transverse*
(Ribs 6-12, buck-handle motion)
*Anterior/Posterior*
(Ribs 1-5, pump-handle)"
The key areas to be evaluated in pulmonary disease are?
"1. Occiput, C1, C2: vagus, parasympathetic (viscerosomatic/somato-visceral)
2. C3-5: phrenic nerve, motor and sensory diaphragm (somatosomatic)

3. Thoracolumbar junction and diaphragm (mechanical)

4. Thoracic outlet (mechanical)
5. Entire thoracic cage (mechanical).
6. T1-6: sympathetic for pulmonary tract (viscerosomatic/somato-visceral)
7. Chapman's reflexes (viscerosomatic/somato-visceral)"
When there is pneumonia there are? Chapman points
Chapman Points for Bronchial?
"~ Anterior ~
Intercostal space between the 2nd and 3rd ribs close to the sternum.

~ Posterior ~
Midway between the spinous process and the tips of the transverse processes at T2"
Chapman Points Upper Lung?
" ~ Anterior ~
Intercostal space between the 3rd and 4th ribs close to the sternum.

~ Posterior ~
Midway between the spinous processes and the tips of the transverse processes of T3 and T4"
Chapman Points Lower Lung?
"~ Anterior ~
Intercostal space between the 4th and 5th ribs close to the sternum.

~ Posterior ~
Midway between the spinous processes and the tips of the transverse processes of T4 and T5
"
"Tender Points, Anterior vs Posterior?"
"~ Anterior Reflex Tender Points ~
Diagnostic Purposes
~ Posterior Tender Points ~
Are treated, by applying inhibitory pressure in a slow circular fashion for 10 to 30 seconds until any associated tissue texture change resolves
"
Chapman points at the 2nd intercostal space suggest problems with?
"2nd intercostal space
=
Thyroid, Myocardium, Esophagus,"
What are Chapman Reflex Points?
Small nodules of tissue texture change that are 2-3 mm in diameter, that demonstrate sharp, pinpoint nonradiating tenderness
"Which reflex is encountered in any condition where the viscera receive parasympathetic innervation from the Vagus nerve"
"The Occiput-C2 Reflex

Consequently, it may be found in association with, but is not specifically diagnostic for, pulmonary disease
"
The "Asthma Reflex"
