cutaneous sensory Flashcards
1
Q
musculocutaneous
A
lateral forearm (lateral cutaneous of forearm)
2
Q
medial cutaneous of arm
A
- travels medial to axillary vein
- sensory from medial arm
3
Q
medial cutaneous of forearm
A
- travels superficial to muscles in medial arm
- sensory from medial forearm
4
Q
ulnar
A
- travels superficial to muscles in medial arm and passes posterior to medial epicondyle. in forearm travels b/n flexor carpi lunaris and flexor digitorum profundus , superficial to flexor retinaculum to enter medial hand
- sensory from skin of medial palm, medial dorsal of hand, digit 5 and medial surface of digit 4
5
Q
median nerve
A
- travel superficial to muscles in medial arm and passes through cubital fossa with brachial artery. exits cubital fossa by passing deep to flexor digitorum superficialis. in wrist, is medial to flexor carpi radials tendon, passes through carpal tunnel
- sensory from skin of lateral palm, digits 1-3, lateral surface digit 4
6
Q
axillary nerve
A
- travels on anterior surface of subscapularis, posteriorly through quadrangular space, around surgical neck of humerus
- sensory from skin of super lateral arm
7
Q
radial nerve
A
- travel on anterior deface of subscapularis and distal tendons of lat. dorsi and heres major. in arm, travels posteriorly b/n long and medial head of triceps. travels anterior to lateral head of triceps and posterior to humerus in radial groove w/ deep artery and veins. pierces lateral inter muscular septum and enters cubital fossa deep to brachioradialis
- superficial branch recipes sensory from skin of posterior arm, forearm and lateral dorsal of hand
8
Q
vagus nerve in neck
A
- exits cranium through jugular foramen and travels within carotid sheath
- sensory from pharynx, larynx, esophagus, trachea, carotid body and carotid sinus
9

lesser occipital (C2, anterior rami)
A
-sensory from skin of lateral neck and scalp posterior to auricle
10

15
Q
phrenic nerve
A
- branches of anterior C3-C5
- travels across anterior surface of anterior scalene
- somatic sensory from diaphragmatic pleura, mediastinal pleura and pericardium
