Brachial Plexus Flashcards
What part of a neuron that contains nucleus, and most of metabolic machinery of the cell
Cell body
Long side of plasmic process of cell body. Most of signal is sent along axons. (often called the “nerve fiber”)
Axon
Shorter side of plasmic process of the cell body. Often receive signals from the axon across.
dendrite
Bundle collection of neuronal axons running parallel to one another
nerve
Shorter side of plasmic process of the cell body often receiv the junction between adjacent neurons
Synapse
A concentration of nerve cell bodies
Ganglion
The cranial concentration of CNS neurons acting in higher function (in vertebrates) and protected by the cranium
Brain
What is the center piece known as
central canal
Rhomboid major and minor
Dorsal Scapular nerve
______________: Extends, adducts and medially rotates humerus

Supraspinatus
Suprascapular nerve
Latissimus Dorsi
Thoracodorsal Nerve
Teres Major
Lower sub scapular; little dorsal scapular
Infraspinatus

Biceps Brachii
Musculocutaneous nerve C5-6
Dorsal division nerves - Axillary innervate which muscles?
Deltoid, teres minor muscles
Radial nerve innervates
- The radio nerve incorporates segments C5 to T1
- triceps all heads, all extensions of forearm in hand
Ventral, division, nerves - músculocutaneous nerves
Innervates biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, brachialis mm.
Ventral, division, nerves - median nerve
Median nerve incorporates segments C5 to T1
Innervates most forearm flexors, including pronator terrace thumb thenar muscles, and 2 lumbricals
Ventral, division, nerves - ulnar nerve nerve
Older nerve incorporate segments C8-T1
Innervates Flexor Carpi ulna’s muscle in arm,
All palmar hand muscles except thenar thumb muscles
