This document discusses the physiology of acupressure and acupuncture. It begins by describing how acupuncture uses thin needles inserted at specific points along meridian pathways to stimulate the body. Acupressure applies pressure to the same points using tools like rollers or a power mat. The document then explains how sensory stimuli are transduced into electrical signals via sensory receptors and neurons. It describes how graded potentials or action potentials are created and transmitted across chemical synapses and along nerve fibers to initiate impulse transmission through the central nervous system. The key points are intercepted by acupuncture points to create effects.

Biological basis of tcm & acupuncture
The document discusses several current theories on the mechanism of acupuncture:
1) Neurotransmitter theory - acupuncture affects the brain and spinal cord, stimulating the release of neurotransmitters like beta-endorphins.
2) Autonomic nervous system theory - acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and acetylcholine, affecting the autonomic nervous system.
3) Gate control theory - acupuncture activates receptors that inhibit pain signals in the spinal cord.
The document also discusses theories on acupuncture meridians and points, including the primo vascular system theory and the idea that points are located in loose connective tissue columns with lymphatic vessels and nerves

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment using thin needles inserted at specific points in the body. It is based on the belief that energy (qi) flows through meridians and illness occurs when qi is blocked. The needles may alleviate pain by stimulating the nervous system to release chemicals or affect brain chemistry. Current evidence supports acupuncture for back/neck pain, headaches, and nausea. Risks are generally minor but may include bruising or fainting. Serious risks like infection or organ puncture are very rare if done properly. The document provides details on the theory, mechanisms of action, appropriate conditions, procedures, risks and side effects of acupuncture.
Acupuncture & pain relief
Acupuncture can relieve pain through various eastern and western approaches. Eastern approaches view pain as blocked energy and use acupuncture needles, electrical stimulation, massage, and herbs to unblock chi flow. Western science finds acupuncture activates the body's natural painkilling substances and a brain imaging study found it reduces activity in pain processing areas by 60-70%. Clinical studies show acupuncture provides significant pain relief for headaches and is effective with fewer side effects than medications.

There are 12 back shu points on the bladder meridian that correspond to each of the 12 zang-fu organs. Back shu points, also called associated points, are located along the spine and can indicate disorders in their related organs. Tenderness at these points suggests either a deficiency or excess of energy in the associated meridian and organ. Alarm points are located on the front of the body near their related organs and may become tender if the organ is imbalanced. Both back shu and alarm points can be used diagnostically and therapeutically for their related organs.

It provides examples of how integrating basic pathology concepts helps students understand medical diagnosis. Specifically, it explains how pathological processes and their structural and functional alterations form the basis for clinical signs and symptoms. Through several examples, it demonstrates how pathological findings correlate with clinical presentations of diseases like meningitis and organomegaly. The overall approach aims to make basic science learning more meaningful and relevant to medical students by placing it in a clinical context.Tcm model of system biology
The document discusses the Heidelberg Model of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its use of functional diagnosis and a systems biology approach to understand biological systems. It proposes that TCM can be de-mystified and described mathematically using binary numbers. Double-blind studies show that acupuncture based on the Heidelberg Model's functional diagnosis is more effective than schematic acupuncture without diagnosis. The model provides a way to integrate TCM with modern biology and pharmacology.

Nerve Muscle Physiology
This document provides information on nerve muscle physiology. It discusses the structure and function of nerves, neurons, and muscles. It explains how nerve signals trigger action potentials in muscles, causing contraction. It describes the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction and different types of muscle fibers. Stimulation methods like strength duration curves are discussed to assess denervated and healthy muscles. Electrical stimulation can aid tissue repair by mimicking the body's natural current of injury.
Neuro physiology notes
This document discusses the measurement and properties of action potentials and nerve trunks. It begins by describing extracellular recording of action potentials using one or two electrodes. It then discusses how properties like conduction velocity and stimulus threshold vary according to axon diameter, with larger axons conducting faster and having a lower threshold. The document also covers compound action potentials, classification of nerve trunks, and measuring conduction velocity. It provides information on slow versus fast twitch muscle fibers and the structure and function of muscle spindles.
Accupressure
Acupressure is an ancient healing technique based on Chinese medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body called acupoints. It works by unblocking the flow of qi, or life energy, along meridian pathways. Some key points:
- Acupressure is similar to acupuncture but uses finger pressure instead of needles to stimulate acupoints. It can effectively treat many physical ailments as well as mental health issues like depression.
- The technique originated in China and is based on the theory that qi flows through meridian channels. Applying pressure to acupoints along these channels helps restore balanced qi flow and healing.
- Common techniques include pressing, rubbing,
Basics of Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy uses electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes and involves applying electromagnetic energy to produce physiological effects in the body. It has a long history dating back to Roman physicians in 47 AD using electric fish to treat gout. Electrotherapy includes modalities like TENS, interferential therapy, microcurrent therapy, laser therapy, and others and can be classified in various ways such as by frequency, application area, or heat transfer method. It works through mechanisms like stimulating nerves or forcing membranes to change behavior.
Action potential and Resting membrane potential, Excitability, Action potenti...
This document discusses excitability and action potentials in nerve and muscle tissues. It defines excitability as the physiological response of a tissue to a stimulus. The key types of stimuli that can excite tissues are mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical stimuli. An action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a nerve or muscle cell rapidly changes from its resting potential to a more positive peak, then back again. This document outlines the stages of an action potential, including depolarization, repolarization, and the afterpotential phases. It also describes how action potentials are propagated as nerve impulses through both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers.
Action potential
This document discusses excitability and action potentials in nerve and muscle tissues. It defines excitability as the physiological response of a tissue to a stimulus. There are four main types of stimuli: mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical. For a stimulus to excite tissue it must be above the threshold intensity and last for a minimum duration. When a nerve fiber is adequately stimulated, it generates an action potential that propagates along the fiber. The action potential involves rapid depolarization followed by repolarization of the membrane potential.

The nervous system allows for the transmission of electrical signals throughout the body to coordinate actions. Neurons are the basic functional units that conduct these signals. An electrical impulse called an action potential travels along neurons when they reach a threshold stimulation level. This occurs via changes in the sodium and potassium ion concentrations inside and outside the neuron. Myelin sheaths surround axons and allow the action potential to jump between nodes of Ranvier, speeding signal transmission. Sensory neurons receive external and internal stimuli and relay this information to interneurons and motor neurons via synapses using neurotransmitters.
Chapter 2 (neuroscience and behavior)
This document provides an overview of neuroscience and the nervous system. It discusses the structure and function of neurons, how they communicate via neurotransmitters, and the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain and nervous system. Key points covered include the peripheral and central nervous systems, the endocrine system, and structures within the brain like the cortex, limbic system, and hemispheres. It also discusses various techniques for studying the brain like EEG, PET scans, and MRI scans.
ZLY106ONNERVOUSSYSTEM1.ppt
The document provides an overview of the nervous system, including:
- The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of nerves and sensory receptors.
- Neurons are the basic functional units and come in three main types: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. They transmit electrical and chemical signals.
- An action potential is generated when the neuron's membrane potential rapidly changes, allowing an electrical signal to travel down the axon. Synapses allow neurons to communicate via neurotransmitters.
- The brain is divided into three main regions—the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain—each containing various structures involved in functions
Neuromodulation in psychiatry.
Neuromodulation therapies like TMS and ECT allow targeted delivery of electrical or magnetic signals to specific areas of the nervous system to improve neural function. TMS uses magnetic pulses to induce currents in the brain non-invasively, while ECT induces seizures via electrodes. Both can have antidepressant effects by modifying neurotransmitter systems and inducing neuroplasticity. Ongoing research aims to better understand mechanisms of action, optimize dosing parameters, and expand indications to other psychiatric conditions.
Neurotransmission
Neurotransmission involves the release of neurotransmitters from the axon terminal of one neuron that bind to and react with receptors on another neuron. Nerve signals travel as electrical nerve impulses along neurons. A neuron consists of a cell body, dendrites that receive signals, and an axon that transmits signals. When a neuron is stimulated, sodium ions enter the cell causing an action potential to propagate along the axon. At synaptic junctions, neurotransmitters are released from vesicles and bind to receptors, causing excitation or inhibition of the downstream neuron. Neurotransmitters are then removed from the synapse to terminate signaling.
Nerve
- Nerve cells transmit electrical signals through long fibers called axons. The cell body contains organelles that produce proteins transported via axoplasmic flow to nerve endings. Myelination increases conduction velocity. Injury can cause temporary (neuropraxia) or permanent (neurotmesis) dysfunction. Regeneration involves Wallerian degeneration clearing debris, axon regrowth, and reinnervation.
Pain
1. The document discusses the fundamentals of impulse generation and transmission in the nervous system. It describes how nerve cells generate and transmit electrical signals called action potentials in response to stimuli.
2. Action potentials are generated by changes in the permeability of the nerve cell membrane to sodium and potassium ions, causing shifts in the membrane potential. This allows impulses to propagate along axons and transmit signals between neurons.
3. The document also examines theories of pain sensation and the gate control theory of pain, which proposes that non-painful stimuli can inhibit pain transmission through spinal cord pathways.
Physiotherapy fin
This document provides an overview of various physical therapy methods, focusing on thermotherapy and electrotherapy. It discusses using heat/cold through conduction (packs/compresses), convection (hydrotherapy/baths), and radiation (saunas). Electrotherapy techniques covered include direct current, low-frequency alternating current for stimulation, and high-frequency currents for diathermy. Safety aspects of electric currents and their effects on tissue are also summarized.
Acupuncture.pptx
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice involving inserting thin needles into specific points in the body. It is based on the belief that energy flows through meridians and balancing this energy can treat illnesses. While the mechanisms are not fully understood, acupuncture is thought to stimulate the nervous system and release chemicals that promote healing. It has been found effective for certain conditions like lower back pain and nausea. Risks are generally minor but can include pain, bleeding or fainting. Serious risks are rare with a properly trained practitioner.
