Q

What muscles are supplied by the radial nerve?

A

all posterior muscle compartment of arm and forearm.

also - a posterior cutaneous contribution to arm/ forearm/ hand/ lower lateral aspect of arm

17
Q

what does the musculocutaneous nerve innervate?

A

biceps brachii
coracobrachialis
brachial is (flexor, attached to ulna)

18
Q

what nerve innervates the tensor fascia latae?

A

superior gluteal nerve (L4, S1)

19
Q

what nerve innervates the psoas and iliacus?

+ insertion point?

A

Lumbar plexus

Lesser trochanter of femur

20
Q

what innervates the adductor magnus?

A

It is a composite muscle as the adductor and hamstring portions of the muscle are innervated by two different nerves. The adductor portion is innervated by the posterior division of the obturator nerve while the hamstring portion is innervated by the tibial nerve.

21
Q

what innervates the hamstrings?

A

sciatic nerve

22
Q

what innervates the quadriceps femoris, and sartorius

A

femoral nerve

23
Q

what innervates the external obturator, and MOST adductors of the hips

A

obturator nerve

24
Q

what supplies the iliopsoas?

A

lumbar plexus

25
Q

what supplies the pectineus muscle?

A

It is a composite muscle as the innervation is by the femoral nerve (L2 and L3) and occasionally (20% of the population) a branch of the obturator nerve called the accessory obturator nerve.

26
Q

what supplies the internal obturator?

A

sacral plexus

27
Q

what muscles does the sacral plexus supply?

A

piriformis
quadratus femoris
internal obturator

28
Q

what supplies the gluteus maximus?

A

inferior gluteal nerve

29
Q

what does the external obturator supply?

A

external obturator

all adductors except part of adductor magnus (tibial nerve) and part of pectineus (shared with femoral nerve)

30
Q

what are the 5 main peripheral nerves of the brachial plexus?

A 
ulnar
median
musculocutaneous
axillary
radial
31
Q

what spinal segment is the brachial plexus?

A

C5 to T1

32
Q

what is another name for the roots of the brachial plexus?

A

anterior primary rami

33
Q

what are the main peripheral nerves of the lumbar sacral plexus? (4-5)

A

femoral
obturator
sciatic - tibial and peroneal
pelvic nerves

34
Q

what is the pain function of the obturator nerve?

A

hip adduction (bringing the legs together)

35
Q

what is the main function of the femoral nerve?

A

activates the quadriceps, therefore extends the leg

36
Q

what is the pain function of the sciatic nerve?

A

activates the hamstrings (except for one), therefore is used for knee flexion
