Q

Cervical Vertebrae Movements

A

Protraction (sticking chin out) cause extension of atlas and axis and flexion of C3-C7
Retraction (pulling chin in) cause flexion of atlas and axis and extension of C3-C7
Lateral Flexion naturally causes the head to turn and look down and in the direction of the tilt. The atlas and axis naturally have rotation that keeps the face looking forward.

Thick bilateral connective tissue structure deep to the pectoralis major muscle. Extends superiorly from the clavicle, medially from the costochondral joints, and superolaterally from the coracoid process.
Converges with the axilla where it acts as a protective structure over the neurovascular structure of the axilla.
Fascia can pinch nerves and cause problems.
Parts of the fascia include the costocoracoid ligament, costocoracoid membrane, and suspensory ligament of the fascia

39
Q

2-the part just below pec minor- two vessels, Thoracoacromial Artery (4 branches: pectoral, deltoid, clavicular, and acromial) and Lateral Thoracic Artery (the most variation and supplies serratus anterior)
3-part of the lateral side of the pec minor- three vessels, Subscapular Artery, Anterior Circumflex Humeral Artery (Corocobrachialis and Biceps), and Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery (Deltoid, Teres Major/Minor, Long Head of Triceps)

41
Q

43
Q

Brachial Plexus Order

A

Randy Travis Drinks Cold Beer
Roots, Trunk, Divisions, Cords, Branches
Comes from C5, C6, C7, C8, T1

The Cords are the first section that we are able to see.
5 Roots, 3 Trunks, 6 Divisions, 3 Cords, 5 Branches

Formed by the anterior rami of C5-T1.
Which then unite to form 3 trunks: Superior (C5, C6), Middle (C7) , and Inferior (C8, T1).
Each trunk divides into a posterior and anterior, making up 6 divisions as it passes through the cervico-axillary canal (posterior to the clavicle)- Anterior division supplies flexors and posterior provides extensors
The division of the trunks for 3 cords: Lateral cord (anterior divisions of superior/middle), Medial cord (anterior division of the inferior trunk continues), and the Posterior cord (all of the posterior divisions)- Their names indicate where they are compared to the axillary artery.

44
Q

Myotomes

A

The sets of muscles innervated by a given nerve

One of the most frequently injured nerves of the brachial plexus is the long thoracic

45
Q

Fascia

A

Fascia is a continuous unit. This means that things that are distal in t he fascia can affect things that are proximal.

The thickness is greatest over the flexor and extensor retinacula

Three Components (Functions) of Fascia: Invests all of the muscles and prevents over expansion, Serves as an anchor, and Divides the limbs into functional compartments.

46
Q

57
Q

Dermatome

A

The lateral wall of each somite in a vertebrate embryo, giving rise to the connective tissue of the skin
An area of the skin supplied by nerves from a single spinal root

Specific

58
Q

Cutaneous Field

A

Cutaneous innervations refer to areas innervated by specific peripheral nerves (e.g. the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve), which can contain fibers from multiple spinal nerve roots. This happens because of how the spinal nerves form plexuses (brachial, lumbar, sacral), which in turn form terminal nerves

77
Q

Spinal Cord Length

A

In the embryo, spinal cord completely occupies vertebral column and nerves exit transversely.
As the body grows, nerves begin running longitudinally before exiting in order to exit in the same location.
Growth results in the formation of the cauda equina from the conus medullaris

78
Q

Splanchnic Nerve

A

Paired visceral nerves (innervation of the internal organs), carrying fibers of the autonomic nervous system (visceral efferent fibers) as well as sensory fibers from the organs (visceral afferent fibers)

79
Q

Sympathetic Nerves

A

Go to literally every part of the body.

80
Q

Meninges

A

Dura, Arachnoid, and Pia Mater together form this.

81
Q

Nervous System

A

Autonomic Nervous System divides into the sympathetic nervous system (thoracolumbar division) and parasympathetic nervous system (craniosacral division)
The autonomic nervous system functions to regulate the body’s unconscious actions

82
Q

Sympathetic Nervous System

A

Fight or flight
Preganglionic neurons in lateral gray horns of spinal segments T1-L2 send preganglionic fibers to ganglia near spinal cord which release ACh, stimulating ganglionic neurons. This sends postganglionic fibers to target organs and release NE at neuroeffector junctions causing a “fight or flight response”

83
Q

Parasympathetic Nervous System

A

Rest and Repose
Preganglionic neurons in brain stem and lateral portions of gray horns of S2-S4 send preganglionic fibers to ganglia in target organs which release ACh, stimulating ganglionic neurons. This sends postganglionic fibers to target organs which release ACh at neuroeffector junctions causing and “Rest and Repose” response

84
Q

Visceral Sensory System

A

Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord) leads to the Peripheral Nervous System
PNS (Cranial and Spinal Nerves) leads to a motor divison and a sensory Divison
-Sensory (afferent) divides into Somatic Sensory (normal external sensory and then Hearing, Equilibrium, Vision, and Smell) and Visceral Sensory (normal internal sensory and then Taste)
-Motor (efferent) divides into Somatic Motor (motor innervation of all skeletal muscles) and Visceral Motor (motor innervation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands
