Q

What is the course of the lumbar plexus?

A

The nerves emerge from theintervertebral foraminaand enter thepsoas muscleanterior to the transverse processes of the vertebra.

All emerge laterally between psoas major and quadratus lumborum (except obturator, which passes medially before descending under the iliac vessels)

17
Q

What are the contents of the sacral canal?

A

Connective tissue
Fat
Sacral nerves
Lymphatics
Filum terminale
A rich venous plexus

18
Q

What are the origins of the sacral plexus?

A

L4-S4

19
Q

What are the branches of thesacral plexusand their origins?

A

A useful memory aid for the major branches of the sacral plexus is ‘Some Irish Sailor Pesters Polly’. This stands for Superior Gluteal, Inferior Gluteal, Sciatic, Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh, Pudendal.

Superior gluteal (L4, L5, S1)
Inferior gluteal
Sciatic nerve (L4, L5, S1, S2, S3)
Posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh (S1, S2, S3)
Pudendal nerve (S2, S3, S4)

20
Q

What is the lumbar plexus?

A

A nerve plexus formed by the anterior divisions of (T12)+L1-L4

21
Q

What are the intrinsic muscles of the larynx and their nerve supply?

A

Cricothyroid -external laryngeal nerve

The rest: recurrent laryngeal nerve:
Posterior cricoarytenoids
Lateral cricoarytenoids
Transverse arytenoids
Oblique arytenoids
Thyroarytenoids

22
Q

What is the sensory innervation of the larynx?

A

Above the cords - internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve
Below the cords - recurrent laryngeal nerve
Vallecula - glossopharyngeal nerve

23
Q

What is the innervation of the thyrohyoid muscle?

A

The thyrohyoid, one of the extrinsic laryngeal muscles, is supplied by the hypoglossal nerve

24
Q

What is the adult volume of the sacral canal?

A

33 ml
