Q

what anterior rami make up the thoracodorsal nerve?

A

C6, C7, C8

18
Q

the superficial ulnar N becomes what nerves in the fingers?

A

common palmar digital nerve, proper palmer digital nerve

19
Q

what nerve(s) turns into the proper and common palmar digital nerve?

A

median nerve and superficial ulnar nerve

20
Q

brachial plexus is divided into?

A

roots, trunks, divisions, cords, terminal branches

21
Q

cutting the superior trunk of the brachial plexus results in weakening of what muscles(s) and paralysis of what muscle(s)?

A

weakening: pectoralis major m., biceps brachii m., brachialis m., coracobrachialis m.
paralysis: none bc medial pectoral nerve innervates pectoralis major m. too, and the other muscles are innervated by the C7 anterior rami as well

22
Q

deltoid m. does not need which anterior rami?

A. C6
B. C7
C. C5

A

B. C7

23
Q

pt comes in complaining that their aconeus m. has weakened. What cord do you suspect there is an issue in?

A

posterior cord

24
Q

pt has a problem rotating their glenoid cavity upwards and protracting their scapula. which anterior rami do you suspect is affected?

A. C5
B. T1
C. C8

what artery runs next to the affected nerve?

A

A. C5

lateral thoracic artery bc the serratous anterior muscle is affected.

25
Q

Pt presents in a “Waiters tip position”. After examining him you determine he damaged C6/C5 anterior rami. What are his motor deficits? What part of the plexus is injured?

A

Deficits :adduction, medial rotation, extended elbow

Superior Plexus Injury

26
Q

Pt presents with Klumpke paralysis. Which nerve root is affected ?

A

T1 and C8 for ulnar nerve

This condition is also known as claw hand . IN this case Ulnar N. is damaged and therefore INFERIOR plexus injury

27
Q

Pt has weakened flexion, extension and abduction of the humerus. What part of the brachial plexus is damaged?

A

Posterior Cord : Axillary N.

28
Q

Pt presents with his lack of flexion in his index finger and middle finger. What nerve of the brachial plexus is injured? What part of the arm is injured

A

lateral and medial cord: Median N.

THINK:
“ hand of benediction”
Injury to medial nerve in elbow

29
Q

Pt comes in with weekened bicep reflex. What part of the brachial plexus is injured ?

A

Lateral Cord affecting Musculocutaneous N.

30
Q

Patient presents with wrist drop. What nerve is affected? What cord is it derived from?

A

Radial, Posterior Cord

31
Q

In a physical exam, a provider found a weakness of the patient’s right wrist with poor finger flexion, pronation, and thumb opposition, resembling the “ape hand.” On which nerve of the brachial plexus does the lesion lie?

a. Median
b. Axillary
c. Ulnar
d. Radial

A

A. Median

32
Q

The nerves which innervate the muscles and skin of the thumb are derived from the brachial plexus via its:

A. Medial and lateral cord
B. Posterior cord
C. Medial cord
D. Medial, lateral and posterior

A

D. medial, lateral, and posterior (radial nerve and median nerve)

33
Q

He says that kids at school make fun of him because his back does “something weird.” You take a look and note that he is experiencing scapular winging. What spinal nerves are associated with this young man’s problem?

a. C8 and C7
b. T1, C6, C5
c. C7, C6, T1
d. C5, C6, C7

A

C5, C6, C7

34
Q

a. Suprascapular
b. Radial
c. Ulnar
d. Thoracodorsal
e. Median

A

D.

35
Q

Which of these nerves has been injured if the patient cannot abduct their arm?

Radial N.
Axillary N.
Ulnar N.
Sciatic N.

A

Axillary N.

36
Q

Patient presents with claw hand. What nerve has been affected?

a. Radial
b. Ulnar
c. Long thoracic N
d. Median N.

A

Ulnar N.

37
Q

Pectoralis major m

Coracobrachialis

Etc

39
Q

What nerves form the superior trunk of the brachial plexus?

A

C5 and C6

40
Q

Which nerves would be damaged if the lateral cord was severed?

A

Musculocutaneous N.

lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve

Lateral Pectoral N.

41
