peripheral nervous system Flashcards
nerve supply of trap
accessory nerve (XI)
function of trap
pull down scapula lateral rotation of scapula, scapula towards midline, elevate scapula, extend cervical to ipsilateral side
when I say trap you say
CN XI and SCAPULAAA
nerve supply of rhomboid major
C4-5 (minor is just C4)
rhomboid (major and minor) function
elevate scapula retract towards spine
innervation of serratus anterior
long thoracic nerve (C5-7)
function of serratus
protracts scapula and rotates laterally to elevated position, fixes ant scapila to thoracic wall
innervation pec major
C8-T1
function pec major
adduct and medially rotate arm
pec minor innervation
C6-C8 (opposed to major which is C8-T1)
function pec minor
fixes scapula to thoracic wall to prevent dorsal shifting, can also draw shoulder blade inferiorly and medially
innervation to subscapularis
C5-6 (subscapular nerves)
subscapular action
medial rotator of arm
deltoid innervation
axillary nerve C5-6
deltoid function
shoulder abductor
supraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve C4-6
supraspinatus function
abducts arm along with deltoid
infraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve C5-6
infraspinatus function
lateral rotator of arm
teres minor innervation
axillary nerve C5-6
teres minor function
rotates arm laterally and adducts to
latissisimus dorsi innervation
thoracodorsal nerve C6-8
lat function
extends and adducts as well as medially rotates humerus
teres major innervation
thoracodorsal nerve C5-7
teres major function
adducts and medially rotates humerus (same function of lat dorsi pretty much)
biceps brachii innervation
musculocutaneous nerve C5-6
function biceps brachii
flexes and supinates at elbow joint
brachialis muscle innervation
musk cutaneous nerve C5-7 and radial nerve C5-6
brachialis function
elbow flexion!!!!
brachioradialis innervation
radial nerve C5-6
brachioradialis function
flexes elbow and pronates forearm to neutral
triceps brachii innervation
radial nerve C6-8
function triceps
elbow extension
supinator muscle
radial nerve posterior interosseous branch C5-6
supinator function
forearm supination
