Describe the formation of a spinal nerve
Dorsal horn–>Dorsal root–> spinal ganglion
&
Ventral horn–> ventral root
these meet to make a spinal nerve
Differentiate among roots, spinal nerve
and branches and the different fibers that run in each structure
dorsal: sensory or afferent (goes towards CNS); GSA
ventral: motor or efferent (goes towards muscle or gland) GSE
lateral: GVE and GVA
Identify the nerves in charge of flexion and extension of the carpal joints
Flex: median n. and ulnar n.
extend: radial n.
Name the branches of the abdominal aorta in order from cranial to caudal

- descending genicular
- distal caudal femoral
Define intercostal nerve
There are thoracic spinal nerves (T3-T12) that splits into dorsal and ventral branch–ventral branches= intercostal nerve
motor and cutaneous sensory
–motor to: external/internal intercostal, transverse thoracic and rectus abdominis
–lateral cutaneous br: skin
–ventral cutaneous br: skin near sternum
What nerve is responsible for the adduction of the coxal joint and therefore the pelvic limb
Obturator nerve is motor to:
external obturator
pectineus
gracilis
adductors
innervates adductors of the pelvic limb*

double check
dorsal vagal: stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidney, small/large intestine until transverse colon
