Quiz 1.8 Flashcards
Spinal Nerves
Mixed nerves that send sensory and motor signals to/from CNS and extremities
Myotome
Group of muscles that a SINGLE spinal nerve innervates
Organized generally by region
Lumbar region nerves
Iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, Genitofemoral, lateral cutaneous, femoral, obturator
Sacral region nerves
Superior/inferior gluteal, posterior femoral, pudendal, sciatic (tibial and common fibular)
Femoral Nerve
Innervates Illiacus, psoas major, Quadriceps femoris, sartorius
Bend at the hip, flex/ext leg at knee
(thigh and hip flexor)
Obturator nerve
Adductor muscles of leg
ADDuct leg
Sciatic nerve (upper)
Biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, adductor magnus
Knee flexion, lower leg external rotation, Hip extension, thigh internal rotation
Tibial nerve
Gastrocnemius, popliteus, soleus, plantaris
Plantar flexion
Fibular (Common peroneal) nerve
Short head biceps femoris, tibialis anterior
Dorsi flexion
Brachial plexus
Originate C5-T1
Control shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist
Spinal nerve -> Roots -> Trunks -> Divisions -> Cords -> Branches
Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, ulnar
Musculocutaneous Nerve
C5-C7
Brachialis, biceps brachii, corocobrachialis
Arm flexion, shoulder adduction
Axillary Nerve
C5,6
Deltoid, Teres minor, long head triceps
ABduction of arm, shoulder rotation, some arm extension
Median Nerve
C5-C8, T1
Flexor muscles of forearm, thenar muscles
Wrist flexion, thumb movement (grip, grab, etc)
Ulnar nerve
C8, T1
Flexor carpi ulnaris, Flexor digitorum profundus, hypothenar muscles, adductor pollicis
Flex fingers, flex wrist, aDDuction of hand
Radial Nerve
C5-8, T1
Triceps brachii, aconeus, brachioradials, extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis, supinator, wrist hand extensors
Arm extension, wrist extension, supination, elbow stabilization
