Neck, Back, and Upper Extremity Innervation Flashcards
Includes muscle innervation, cutaneous innervation, plexi, and spinal roots
trapezius
CN11
latissimus dorsi
thoracodorsal nerve (a branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus)
rhomboids
dorsal scapular nerve
levator scapulae
dorsal scapular nerve and the anterior rami of C3 and C4
splenius
posterior rami of C3 and C4
erector spinae
dorsal rami
type of nerves in the dorsal roots?
sensory
(this is pre-spinal nerve; rami contain both)
type of nerves in the dorsal ramps of the spinal nerves?
both motor and sensory
what is in dorsal root ganglia
cell bodies of neurons
4 cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus
.
which ventral rami form cervical plexus
C1-C4
what is between middle and anterior scalene
trunks of the brachial plexus
what muscles are innervated by CN 11?
sternocleidomastoid and trapezius
phrenic nerve: target, ventral rami that form it, and location (on which muscle?)
Diaphragm
C3-C5
Anterior scalene
biceps brachii
musculocutaneous nerve (the most lateral of the terminal branches of the brachial plexus)
corachobrachialis
musculocutaneous nerve (the most lateral of the terminal branches of the brachial plexus)
what does long thoracic nerve supply, and which surgical procedure can injure it?
serratous anterior
mastectomy
where do we see trunks of brachial plexus?
posterior triangle of neck, between the anterior and middle scalenes
where do we see cords of the brachial plexus?
anterior, medial, and posterior
high in axilla, before “M”
where do we see terminal branches of the brachial plexus?
the “M” of the axilla
lateral to medial: the terminal branches of the brachial plexus
musculocutaneous
axillary (sort of behind the M)
median
radial (sort of behind the M)
ulnar
muscles innervated by musculocutaneous nerve
anterior brachium (biceps brachii, brachialis, corachobrachialis)
cutaneous regions innervated by musculocutaneous nerve
anterior brachium
muscles innervated by axillary nerve
deltoid, teres minor
cutaneous regions innervated by axillary nerve
skin over shoulder
