Survey
Allopathy (other/different; disease/suffering) - treatments used are against what body is doing. This is conventional medicine.

reductionism: bringing things down to its smallest point. Body can be many different parts instead of body as whole.

Drugs:
-OTC (over the counter) meds
-Rx
-vaccines

Surgery

It can:
-manage trauma
-diagnose and treat med/surg. emergencies
-treat with antibiotics (acute bacteria infections)
-treat some parasitic and fungal infections
-prevent disease by immunization
-diagnose complex med problem
-replace hip/knee
-good results with cosmetic reconstruction surgery

Allopathy cannot:
-treat viral infection
-cure most chronic degenerative disease
-effectively manage mental illness
-cure most forms of allergy, autoimmune
-effectively manage psychosomatic illness
-cure most form of caner



Extensive Study (except drugs)
Most effective study is 'double-blind' - nobody know if it is placebo.

Teacher said she'd email notes.

M. both prenatal and postpartum
M. primarily for the mother
M. is for mechanically for mm
M. It will make a big difference for the mom.


Anatomy
first test is in a week.
Tendons: mm to periosteum (aponeurosis is a flat wide tendon)
Ligament: to strengthen and stabilize jts. The texture is more palpable than tendons (usually)
Fascia: continuous sheet of fiberous membrane. It's 3D and holds things together.
superficial- just below skin
deep-
very delicate touch
Retinaculum: holds organ or tissue together. Fiber direction is usually perpendicular
Artery: away from heart to capillaries. Can feel pulse
Vein: back to heart
Bursa: small, fluid-filled sack, reduces friction b/w 2 structures. Kind of like a cushion.
Nerves: vessels are tube shaped, mobile, and tender when compressed.
Lymph nodes: collect lymphatic fluid from lymphatic vessel.

Know for the test p. 10-17, 19-43 in Trail guide. Memmler's 90-93, 108,118 (and kinesiology notes?)

639 named mm
206 bones

Planes of mvmt
Muscular system (don't need to know every name, but understand their function)
Fasical system
Cardiovascular system
Nervous system - maintains homeostasis=equilibrium or balance
Lymphatic system

Mem's p. 90-93 Bones!

Skeleton- purpose to support and protect structures of body and produce mvmt of structural system with muscles at jt
divided into axial and appendicular

Long bone (most familiar shape of bone)
-the shaft is called diaphysis
-center of diaphysis is medullary cavity
-inside medullary cavity is bone marrow
-There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis (I believe the epiphysis is the head of the bone).

2 Types of bone tissue: (osseous [osse is bone] tissue)
-compact: hard and dense shaft and outer layer of bone
-spongy (cancellous): has paces/pockets filled with bone marrow. Found in epiphysis center of long bones (red bone marrow).

2 kinds of bone marrow:
-Red: found in the end of long bones and center of other bones--makes red blood cells (RBC)
Yellow: found in central cavity made mostly of fat.
