Q

why is the radial nerve particularly important

A

if the radial nerve is nonfunctional then the triceps is non-functioning = no elbow extension = can’t bear weight on limb

17
Q

what nerve is all about stifle extension? what muscles does it innervate?

A

femoral nerve; quadriceps femoris, sartorius, iliopsoas

18
Q

what arises from the femoral nerve? what is its function?

A

saphenous n; sensory

19
Q

what is innervated by the sciatic nerve?

A

internal obturator
quadratus femoris
gemelli
biceps femoris
semitendinosus
semimembranosus

20
Q

what two branches does the sciatic nerve terminate in

A
  1. tibial n.
  2. common fibular n.
21
Q

what 3 sites should IM injections be given in to avoid major nerves

A
  1. epaxial
  2. quadriceps femoris
  3. semimembranosus and semitendinosus
22
Q

what nerve innervates the caudal crus m. (gastrocnemius, extensors of tarsus)

23
Q

what nerve innervates the cranial crus m. (cranial tibial m., flexors of tarsus)

A

common fibular

24
Q

T/F: areas of sensory innervation are supplied by at least two nerves

A

FALSE - only one

25
what 5 nerves in the pelvic limb have autonomous zones
1. sciatic 2. common fibular 3. tibial 4. saphenous 5. caudal cutaneous femoral
26
what is the AZ of the caudal cutaneous femoral n.
caudolateral proximal thigh; branches of S1/2
27
what is the AZ of the saphenous n.
medial crus and tarsus
28
what is the AZ of the tibial and common fibular n.
plantar and dorsal pes respectively
29
what is the AZ of the sciatic n.
caudal curs, common fibular, and tibial n.
30
what 3 nerves in the thoracic limb have autonomous zones
1. radial 2. ulnar 3. musculocutaneous
31
what are the divisions of the radial nerve
lateral cutaneous antebrachial medial and lateral branches
32
what are the divisions of the ulnar nerve
caudal cutaneous antebrachial dorsal ulnar branch
33
what is different about the palmar nerves in cats compared to dogs
the branches of the ulnar and median n. do not anastomose there is an AZ for the median n. on digits I-III
