UL Flashcards
axillary nerve
- muscles
- course
- patho
(ax chops the shoulder)
wraps around surgical neck of humerus
surgical neck fracture
deltoid (abduction)
teres minor (external rotation)
musculocutaneous nerve muscles
exits lateral cord
= pierces corobrahialis
= travel between biceps and brachialis
BBC
biceps brachii (flexion, supination)
corocobrahialis (flexion, adduction)
BRACHIALIS (elbow flexion) ==> brachioradialis is inervated by the radial nerve
radial nerve
exit posterior cord
= wrap around radial groove of humerus
= pass through cubital fossa
= divide into deep (motor) and superficial (sensory) branch
BEST
brachioRADIALIS (elbow flexion)
extensors (wrist extensors)
supinator
triceps brachii
humeral shaft fracture
median nerve
axilla
= cubital fossa
= carpal tunnel
= palmar and recurrent branch
LOAF
- lumbricals 1 + 2
- OP
- AbPB
- FPB
all foreaem flexors except for FCU and medial FCP
carpal tunnel syndrome = median nerve entrapment = ape hand
hand of benediction (when trying to close fingers)
= cannot close thumb, second, and third
ulnar nerve
posterior to medial epicondyle
all intrinsic muscles except LOAF
- FCU
- medial FDP
claw hand
