Abstract

Abnormal spinal disease and function, in addition to simple musculoskeletal problems, can disrupt homeostasis and cause direct and indirect physiological side effects. Part or all of the immune function can be compromised, exposing you to more disease, especially if the nerves running through your spine do not deliver the proper signals to the organs that regulate your immune system. This study focuses on basic anatomic and physiological knowledge and seeks to consider potential mechanisms by which spinal function may potentially help maintain or improve immune function. To this end, we examine the roles of the spine in relation to hematopoiesis, stress, respiration, spine-nerve relationships, and the immune system, and confirm that these roles may influence immune function.

비정상적인 척추 질환 및 기능은 단순한 근·골격계 문제 외에도 항상성을 방해하고 직·간접적인 생리적 부작용을 일으킬 수 있다. 특히 척추를 통해 나오는 신경이 면역체계를 조절하는 기관에 적절한 신호를 전달하지 못하면 면역 기능의 일부 또는 전부에 문제가 생겨 더 많은 질병에 노출될 수 있다. 이 연구는 기본적인 해부학 및 생리학적 지식에 초점을 맞추고 척추 기능이 잠재적으로 면역 기능을 유지하거나 개선하는 데 도움이 될 수 있는 잠재적 메커니즘을 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 위해 조혈, 스트레스, 호흡, 척추와 신경의 관계, 면역체계와 관련된 척추의 역할을 살펴보고 이러한 역할이 면역기능에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인한다.
