Nerves and their muscles Flashcards
Musculocutaneous n.
C5-C7
Motor: anterior arm
Sensor: anterior and lateral forearm
Path: through coracobrachialis and dives deep
Median n.
C6-T1
Motor: anterior forearm except flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar 2 digits of flexor digitorum profundus
Sensory: anterior forearm and palmar first 3.5 digits and dorsal first 3 finger tips
Path: goes through protantor teres and branches into anterior interosseous (deep anterior forearm), through the carpal tunnel then branches into recurrent median (opponens pollicis, abductor pollicis brevis, and flexor pollicis brevis (thenar eminence)), and a cutaneous median (sensory). The median nerve terminates by innervating the 2 most radial lumbricals.
Radial n.
C5-C8
Sensory: Radial dorsum of the hand
Motor: posterior arm and forearm
Path: runs in radial groove of humerus then passes over the lateral epicondyle and goes to posterior arm it branches into the deep radial n. which innervates the supinator, which in turn branches into the posterior interosseous (posterior forearm). The original nerve then gets brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus as it ends near the anatomical snuffbox
Axillary n.
C5-C6
Motor: deltoids and teres minor
Path: around surgical head of the humerus
Ulnar
C8-T1
Motor: Hand with exceptions and 1.5 anterior forearm
Sensor: ulnar palm
Path: branches into deep ulnar which does intrinsic hand muscles except 2LOAF and the original ulnar n. gets flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar 2 digits of flexor carpi digitorum
Dorsalscapular n.
C5
Levator scapulae, rhomboid major, and rhomboid minor
Long thoracic n.
C5-C7
Serratus anterior
Suprascapular n.
C5-C6
Supraspinatus and infraspinatus
Lateral pectoral n.
C5-C7
Pectoralis minor
Upper subscapular n.
C5-C6
Subscapularis
Thoracodorsal n. (middle subscapular n.)
C6-C7
Latissimus dorsi
Lower Subscapular n.
C5-C6
Subscapularis and teres major
Medial pectoral n.
C8-T1
Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
Medial brachial cutaneous n.
C8-T1
Sensory: medial arm
Medial antebrachial cutaneous n.
C8-T1
Sensory: medial forearm
Path: runs medially with brachial artery and basilic vein
