Spinal Nerves: how many pairs?
31
28
Cervical Plexus:
Cranial Nerves C1-C5;supplies skin and muscles of head, neck, shoulders and chest.
29
Brachial Plexus:
Cranial nerves C5-T1 Supplies shoulders & upper limbs
30
Lumbosacral Plexus
Lower limb, breaches to pelvis, abdomen, & buttocks.
31
Lumbar Plexus
Spinal nerves L1-L4, supplies buttocks and lower limbs
32
Coccygeal plexus:
Spinal Nerves S4-Co Serves the coccyx bone
33
Reflexes: Somatic reflexes
Lead to contraction of skeletal muscles.
34
Reflexes: Autonomic (visceral) reflexes:
Lead to response from smooth muscle, cardiac muscle & glands.
