Pectoral Region Flashcards
Pectoral region: name subcutaneous nerves
Supraclavicular
Pectoral
Intercostal
Pectoral region: supravlavicular nerves
3 cutaneous nerves - common trunk from plexus = under SCM Ventral rami of C3 + 4 Post. triangle, under platysma Over clavicle Supply skin over ICS 1 + 2 Medial, intermediate + lateral branches
Pectoral region: pectoral nerves
Lateral = more med. - from lat. cord Medial = more lat. - from med. cord
Typical IC nerve: structure
Spinal cord Dorsal + ventral roots Spinal ganglion Dorsal + ventral rami Dorsal ramus = lat. + med. branches Ventral ramus = lat. cutaneous + ant. cutaneous Lat. = ant. + post. Ant. = lat. + med.
Important dermatomes
T2 = 2nd ICS T4 = nipple T6/7 = xiphoid prcoess T10 = umbilicus
Pectoral region: subcutaneous blood vessels
Thoraco-acromial a. - deltoid + pectoral br.
ITA - perforating br.
