Q

progression of main artery of upper limb

A
  • suclavian
  • axillary (at axilla)
  • brachial
  • brachial splits into radial and ulnar
20
Q

structures ANTERIOR to ASM

A
  • phrenic nerve (to diaphragm)
  • subclavian vein
  • transverse cervical artery
  • suprascapular artery
21
Q

structures POSTERIOR to ASM

A
  • brachial plexus

- subclavian artery

22
Q

Erb’s palsy

A
  • results from damage to upper roots of the plexus that serve flexors in shoulder and arm
  • result = extension and pronation
  • damage to C5, C6, C7
  • mostly explained by loss of innervation of musculocutaneous nerve
23
Q

muscles innervated by musculocutaneous nerve

A
  • coracobrachialis
  • brachialis
  • biceps brachii
24
Q

klumpke’s palsy

A
  • results from damage to the lower roots (C7, C8, T1) of the brachial plexus and muscles that move the hand and wrist
  • result = limitations on elbow extension and wrist flexion
25
Q

what does the long thoracic nerve innervate?

A

serratus anterior

26
Q

scapular winging

A

a result of damage to the long thoracic nerve (C5-C7) and weakness in serratus anterior

27
Q

flexors of hand

A

attach to medial epicondyle of humerus

28
Q

extensors of hand

A

attach to lateral epicondyle of humerus

29
Q

innervation of extensors of hand

A

radial nerve

30
Q

innervation of flexors of hand

A
  • median nerve to forearm and thumb

- ulnar nerve to ulnar side of forearm and much of the hand

31
Q

layer 1 of superficial flexors of hand/wrist

A
  • arise at or near medial epicondyle
  • brachioradialis (radial)
  • pronator teres (median)
  • flexor carpi radialis (median)
  • palmar longus (median)
  • flexor carpi ulnaris (ulnar)
  • flexes wrist/hand
32
Q

layer 2 of superficial flexors of hand/wrist

A
  • arises at or near medial epicondyle
  • flexor digitorum superficialis (median)
  • flexes fingers
33
Q

layer 3 of deep flexors of hand/wrist

A
  • flexor pollicis longus (median) - flexion of fingers to make fist
  • flexor digitorum profundus (half median/half ulnar) - flexion of upper half of finger
34
Q

layer 4 of deep flexors of hand/wrist

A

-pronator quadratus (median) - pronation of wrist

35
Q

which nerve passes under the carpal tunnel?

A

median nerve

36
Q

extensor muscles of hand/wrist

A
  • arise from lateral epicondyle and go to fingers (thumb muscles not included)
  • innervated by radial nerve
  • extensor carpi radialis longus
  • extensor carpi radialis brevis
  • extensor carpi ulnaris
  • extensor digitorum
  • extensor digiti minimi
37
Q

  • adductor pollicis longus
  • extensor pollicis brevis
  • extensor pollicis longus
  • extensor indicis

median but one small part ulnar (flexor pollicis brevis)

39
Q

hypothenar

A

pinky side

ulnar nerve

40
Q

A
  • a short flexor muscle
  • an abductor muscle
  • an opponens muscle
41
Q

ulnar claw hand

A

ulnar nerve damage that leads to weakness in the 3rd and 4th lumbricals

42
Q

hand of benediction

A

median nerve damage that leads to weakness in 1st and 2nd lumbricals

43
Q

radial nerve innervation
