Upper limb dermatomes and myotomes Flashcards
What enters brachial plexus
anterior rami C5-T1 that supply upper limbs
Where are dermatomes for C4 and T2
adjacent to each other on anterior trunk
Anterior rami of the spinal nerves supply both the
vertebral (anterior) and dorsal (posterior) skin of upper and lower limbs
axons from a single spinal nerve can
follow multiple different routes through the plexus and therefore emerge in several different peripheral nerves
cutaneous distribution of nerves in hand
Dermatomes
Axons that originate in C6 supply
C6 dermatome and median nerve territory
Axons from C7 supply
C7 dermatome and the median nerve territory
Fibres from C5,C6 and C7 join to form
musculocutaneous nerve (supplies skin of lateral forearm)
Cutaneous innervation of the right upper limb
Myotomes of the upper limb
