Q

RLN

A
  • sensation below vocal cords, motor to all laryngeal muscles except cricothyroid
  • bilateral injury–adduction of vocal cords and rapid, severe respiratory obstruction
  • enters larynx psoterior to cricothyroid articulation–blocked by transtracheal approach

21
Q

ulnar nerve at elbow

A
  • between olecranon and medial epicondyle of humerus

  • loss of all muscles of hand except thenar eminence and 1st/2nd lumbricals
22
Q

ulnar nerve at the wrist

A

-medial to ulnar artery

23
Q

A

=blocked medial to brachial artery between two heads of pronator teres

24
Q

median nerve supplies

A

-thenar eminence, 1st and 2nd lumbricals

25
Q

median nerve at the wrist

A

-between flexor carpi radialis and palmaris longus

26
Q

injury to nerves

A
  • direct needle or other trauma, or ischemia from positioning
  • supplied by arteries called vasa nerovrum
27
Q

A
28
Q

Cutaneous nerves of leg: front

A
29
Q

nerve supply to LE

  • sensory to anteiror and medial thigh and leg
  • sensory to medial ankle (saphenous)
  • NAVL
31
Q

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

A

-sensory to anterolateral spect of thigh down to knee

32
Q

meralgia paresthetica

A

-compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve by inguinal ligament, producing pain, numbness, paresthesia over anterolateral aspect of thigh

33
