The axis of rotation of the thoracic vertebra passes through:
The body of the vertebra
A recurrent spinal, nerve passes through the intervertebral foramen for distribution to:
The blood vessels and meninges of the cord
Areas of the spine are predisposed to subluxation when:
They are apices of transitions of compensatory distortions
The apices of the normal A-P curves of the spine are:
the third lumbar, fifth and sixth thoracics, and fourth cervical
One reason for occupation predisposition of the vertebral column to subluxation in some area is:
The asymmetry development of muscle
Sacroiliac subluxation can disturb sympathetic function by:
reflex connection of afferent fibers with lumbar lateral horn cells
The sacral parasympathetic overflow may be disturbed by a sacral distortion by:
reflex action of afferent fibers with the sacral parasympathetic fibers
The fixation of the subluxation may disturb neuromere function by:
interfering with venous drainage
The viscerosomatic reflex of a nephroptosis is likely to cause recurrent subluxation of
the 11th and 12th thoracic or 1st lumbar
Authorities have demonstrated that pathogenic organisms seldom damage healthy tissue, and the chiropractor contends that subluxations:
may through the sympathetic control of arteries cause ischemia with lowered resistance.
Irritation of the pain fibers of the trigeminal nerve may cause a subluxation of:
An upper cervical vertebrae
hypoglycemia causes the nervous system to be:
hyperirritable
The initial response of the nervous system to fatigue is:
increased irritability
Alteration from optimum blood glucose content and effects of fatigue appear to influence first:
the cyton of the neuron
a subluxation may serve as a somatopsychic disturbance because:
the discomfort provides a basis for neurosis
psychogenic muscle tension most frequently causes:
upper cervical subluxations
chronic diaphramatic tension most frequently results from:
a psychogenic irritation
a psychovisceral reflex may:
cause visceral dysfunction
Anoxia of the spinal cord causes detrimental effects first upon:
the connector neurons
the posterior boundary of a typical intervetebral foramen is formed by:
the articular processes
the postvertebral muscles are supplied with motor nerve impulses by:
the posterior primary rami of spinal nerves.
the postvertebral muscles which have segmented characteristics of embryonic development are:
the deepest and shortest
besides x-ray, the most frequently used method of detecting subluxations by chiropractors is by:
palpation
the most consistent subjective symptom of a subluxation is:
tenderness
chronicity of subluxation can be recognized by the chiropractor by:
the texture of the tissue
chronic subluxations may be detected on palpation by:
change of texture to the skin
the irritation of a subluxation causes some of the muscles that move the vertebral segment to by hypertonic, which may be called
splinting
the vasomotor disturbances of the neuromere that usually accompany subluxations are caused by:
a reflex response
the majority of the cells of the central gray matter of a neuromere receive their arterial blood by an arteriole from:
the anterior spinal artery
when "hiccups" do not respond to mid-cervical adjusting, the chiropractor should examine next for a subluxation:
of the lower six thoracic area
D.D. Palmer claimed that the vertebra most frequently subluxated was:
the twelfth thoracic
the response of viscera to parasympathetic impulses may be modified by subluxations:
of a sacroiliac articulation
the one glandular structure which receives preganglionic sympathetic innervation is:
the medulla of the adrenal
a single preganglionic sympathetic fiber may synapse with:
two to seventeen postganglionic neurons
a subluxation of one of the first four thoracic vertebrae may disturb function of:
any structure above the diaphragm
