Neurovasculature Flashcards
brachial plexus from:
anterior ventral rami C5-T1 they are the ROOTS
Root of brachial plexus found
between anterior and middle scalenes (or slightly above clavicle)
turn into trunks
Trunks travels under what and then splits into divisions?
first rib under clavicle then crosses into the axilla as 3 anterior and 3 posterior. Most anterior mingle and end up in flexor compartment
Cords and terminal branches is close to which artery and where is it?
Axillary artery in the axilla near armpit)
What roots innervate musculotaneous
c567
What roots innervate axillary
c56
What roots innervate radial
everything
What roots innervate median
everything
What roots innervate ulnar
c8 t1
shoulder joint with abduct and flex has myotome
c5
shoulder with adduct and extend has myotome
c6 and c7
elbow with flexion has myotome
c5 c6
elbow with extension has myotome
c7 c8
wrist with flexion and extension has myotome
c6 c7
muscultaneous pierces what muscle
coracobrachialis
median nerve travel with which artery
brachial
M shape (signals end of cords) turn into what three branches
most medial to lateral: Ulnar, median, musculotaneous
axillary nerve course
posterior to axillary artery
exits axilla via quandrangular space with posterior circumflex humeral artery
Where is injury seen when a nerve is squahed?
distal
musculotaneous course
lateral to axillary artery
pierces coracobrachilais
sits between biceps brachii and brachialis (supplies all of them)
Muscultaneous nerve changes name as it goes down. When and what is it?
Reach cubital fossa, becomes lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm (skin innervation, no more muscle)
median nerev course
Close to brachial artery
between two heads of pronator teres
deep to flexor digitorum superficialis
supplies all flexor of forearm except flexor carpi ulnaris and half of flexor digitorum profundus
Median nerve has a branch, what is it
anterior interosseous nerve
What happens when median nerve arrive at wrist?
It is only nerve to go thru carpal tunnel
- under flexor retinaculum
- inflammed muscle squah this nerve
It also divides into a palmar branch at wrist joint
innervates the thenar muscles (via reccurent branch of median nerve CANNOT be just reccurent), and two lumbrical of fingers (index and middle)
reccurent branch is motor, rest is all sensory and motor
