26
Q

Why are there no cell bodies in the brachial plexus?

A

Cell bodies are located within the grey matter of the ventral horn

Efferent nerve travels from ventral horn to effector muscle

Afferents synapse in dorsal root ganglion

27
Q

What nerves innervate the extrinsic muscles of the thoracic limbs?

A 
Thoracodorsal
Lateral
Long thoracic
Cranial pectoral
Caudal pectoral
28
Q

What nerves innervate the intrinsic muscles of the thoracic limb?

A 
Suprascapular
Subscapular
Axillary
Musculocutaneous
Radial
Median
Ulnar
29
Q

Which nerves have cutaneous branches?

A

Nerves of the intrinsic muscles except supra- subscapular

Axillary
Musculocutaneous
Radial
Median
Ulnar
30
Q

What is the cutaneous area?

A

The total area of skin that is innervated by a given cutaneous nerve

31
Q

What are the 2 zones of the cutaneous area?

A

Overlap zone: innervated by two or more cutaneous nerves, located at the periphery of the cutaneous area

Autonomous zone: centrally located within the CA
Innervated by only 1 nerve

32
Q

How to test for cutaneous sensation?

A
  1. Grasp a small fold of skin
  2. Pinch with increasing intensity until reaction occurs or obviously no reaction

Any reflex or reaction indicates the nerve is working

33
Q

What muscle does the lateral thoracic nerve innervate?

A

Cutaneous trunci

34
Q

What is the panniculus relfex

A

Mild compression of the skin sends signal via dorsal branches of lumbar/thoracic nerves (C8-L3) and results in contraction of cutaneous trunci

35
Q

What does an injury to the suprascapular do?

A

Atrophy of supraspinatus & infraspinatus

Lateral abduction of shoulder “Shoulder slip”

36
Q

What does an injury to the muscolucutaneous nerve do?

A

Paralyze the main flexor muscles of the cubital joint

37
Q

Where does the axillary nerve pass from the medial to the lateral side?

A

Proximal to teres major

38
Q

What are the cutaneous branches of the axillary nerve?

A

Cranial lateral cutaneous brachial (lateral head of triceps)

Cranial cutaneous antebrachial

39
Q

What is the cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve?

A

Medial cutaneous antebrachial

40
Q

Where does the radial nerve pass from the medial to lateral side?

A

Distal to teres major

41
Q

What branches of the radial nerve innervate the extensor muscles of the cubital joint?

A

Tricipital branches

42
Q

What are the 2 main branches of the radial nerve?

A

Superficial branch

Deep branch

43
Q

What nerve runs with the cephalic vein & cranial superficial antebrachial arteries?

A

Superficial branch of radial nerve has medial & lateral branch

44
Q

What is the purpose of the Lateral cutaneous antebrachial nerve branch from the superficial radial?

A

Innervates skin

Dorsal common digital nerves (II, III, IV)

45
Q

What is the purpose of the medial branch of the superficial radial?

A

Dorsal common digital nerves (Lateral)

46
Q

What is the cutaneous area of the deep radial nerve?

A

Craniolateral aspect of antebrachium and carpus, and dorsal aspect of forepaw

47
Q

What would an injury to the radial nerve proximal to the tricipital branches do?

A

Paralysis of extensor muscles of cubital joint, extendors muscles of carpal and digital joints

Flaccid thoracic limb, no weight-bearing, foot is dragged with dorsal surface on the ground

48
Q

What would an injury to the radial nerve distal to the tricipital branches do?

A

Paralysis of the extensor muscles of the carpal and digital joints

Limb is weight bearing but “knuckling” occurs and dorsal surface of forepaw rests on ground

49

What nerve innervates the palmar aspect of the distal limb?

A

Medial and lateral branches of median nerve

50
Q

What is the cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve?

A

Caudal cutaneous antebrachial

51
Q

What are the muscular branches of the ulnar nerve?

A

Dorsal and palmar branch

52
Q

Which branch innervates the palmar surface of the carpus, metacarpus & digits?

A

Palmar branch of ulnar nerve

53
Q

Which branch innervates the lateral surface of the 5th digit?

A

Dorsal branch of ulnar nerve

54
Q

Which ulnar branch innervates the interosseous muscles?

A

Palmar branch of ulnar nerve

55
Q

What is the cutaneous area of the musculocutaneous nerve?

A

Medial aspect of antebrachium

56
Q

What is the cutaneous area of the axillary nerve?

A

Lateral aspect of brachium

Cranial aspect of antebrachium

57
Q

What is the cutaneous area of the radial nerve?

A

Craniolateral aspect of antebrachium & carpus

Dorsal aspect of forepaw

58
Q

What is the cutaneous area for the median nerve?

A

Palmar aspect of metacarpus and digits

Q

What is the cutaneous area for ulnar nerve?

A

Caudal aspect of antebrachium
Palmar surface of carpus, metacarpus, digits
Lateral surface of 5th digit

60
Q

What is the cutaneous area for the brachiocephalic nerve?

A

cranioventral aspect of chest

61
Q

What is the cutaneous area for the ventral cutaneous branch?

A

Craniodorsal aspect of scapula

62
Q

What are the nerves on the dorsal forepaw called? What nerves make up this network?

A

Dorsal common digital nerves (Superficial nerves) - Lateral branch of Superficial radial

63
