UE Nerves and Nerve Roots Flashcards
Nerves receive their contribution from how many nerve roots?
One or more - cable with a bundle of wire where axons of nerve roots form the wire within the bundle
Origin of nerve and nerve root: Dorsal scapular nerve
C5 nerve root - often get a contribution from C4
C4-5
Origin of nerve and nerve root: Long thoracic nerve
C5-7 nerve root
C5-7
Origin of nerve and nerve root: Suprascapular nerve
sup trunk
C5-6
Origin of nerve and nerve root: nerve to subclavius
sup trunk
C5-6
Origin of nerve and nerve root: lat pectoral nerve
lat cord
C5-7
Origin of nerve and nerve root: sup subscapular nerve
pos cord
C5-6
Origin of nerve and nerve root: middle/thoracodorsal subscapular nerve
pos cord
C6-8
Origin of nerve and nerve root: inf subscapular nerve
pos cord
C5-7 - before was 5-6 until 97% of cadavers should contribution of 7
Origin of nerve and nerve root: medial pectoral nerve
medial cord
C8-T1 or C5-T1 - typically communication from lat pectoral nerve (c5-c7) via ansa pectoralis
Origin of nerve and nerve root: medial cutaneous of arm nerve
med cord
C8-T1
Origin of nerve and nerve root: medial cutaneous nerve of forearm
med cord
C8-T1
Origin of nerve and nerve root: musculocutaneous nerve
lat cord
C5-7
Origin of nerve and nerve root: axillary nerve
pos cord
C5-6
Origin of nerve and nerve root: radial nerve
pos cord
C5-T1 median nerve
Origin of nerve and nerve root: median nerve
lat&medial cords
C5-T1
Origin of nerve and nerve root: ulnar nerve
med cord
C7-T1
Why the nerve root innervation to muscle is different from nerve roots
Muscles don’t always receive contribution from all the nerve roots that contribute to the nerve cable made up of axons of each nerve root within the bundle - nerves may send wires from all or only some of the nerve roots to the branch
Nerve supply and roots of: deltoid
axillary nerve
C5-6
Nerve supply and roots of: pectoralis maj (clavicular head)
lat pectoral and part of medial pectoral
C5-6
Nerve supply and roots of: Pectoralis major (sternal head)
lat pectoral and part of medial pectoral
C6-T1
Nerve supply and roots of: Pec minor
medial pectoral nerve
C8-T1/C5-T1
connection with lat pectoral nerve from ansa pectoralis
Nerve supply and roots of: serratus ant
long thoracic nerve
C5-C7
Nerve supply and roots of: trapezius
motor - spinal accessory nerve
CN XI
sensory - ant rami C3-4
C3-4
axioappendicular muscles - 5
connect axial skeleton to shoulder girdle
- trap
- levator scapula
- rhomboid maj & min
- lat dorsi
Nerve supply and roots of: levator scapula
branches from an rami of C3-4
C3-4
Branches from dorsal scapular nerve
C5
Nerve supply and roots of: rhomboid maj
Dorsal Scapular nerve
C4-5
