17
Q

cords

A

once the anterior and posterior divisions have entered the axilla, they form 3 cords
- named by their position relative to the axillary artery
- lateral
- posterior
- medial

18
Q

lateral cord

A

lateral pectoral nerve
- pec major

19
Q

what nerve comes off medial cord

A

medial pectoral nerve
- pec major and minor

20
Q

posterior cord

A

thoracodorsal nerve
- latissimus dorsi

subscapular nerves
- subscapularis
- teres major

21
Q

branches

A
  1. musculocutaneous nerve (lateral cord)
  2. axillary nerve (posterior cord)
  3. median nerve (lateral & medial cord)
  4. radial nerve (posterior cord)
  5. ulnar nerve (medial cord)
22
Q

musculocutaneous nerve

A
  • muscles of anterior compartment of arm
  • lateral cord
  • C5-C7
23
Q

axillary nerve

A
  • deltoid & teres minor
  • posterior cord
  • C5, C6
24
Q

median nerve

A
  • muscles of anterior forearm
  • muscles of hand
  • lateral & medial nerve
  • C5-T1
25
Q

radial nerve

A
  • posterior cord
  • muscles of posterior arm and forearm
  • C5-T1
26
Q

ulnar nerve

A
  • medial cord
  • FCU, FDP, muscle of the hand
  • C8-T1
27
Q

what nerves would be impacted if the medial cord was damaged

A
  • median n.
  • ulnar n.
28
Q

if the posterior cord of the brachial plexus was damage which of the following nerve (s) would be affect
a) axillary nerve
b) dorsal scapular nerve
c) ulnar nerve
d) radial nerve
e) musculocutaneous nerve

A

a), d)

29
Q

radius- distal end

A

ulnar notch
- articulates with head of ulna
- forms distal radio-ulnar joint
styloid process (thin boney projection)
- stabilize wrist joint
- bigger

30
Q

ulna- distal

A

round NOT flat
- styloid process
- process articulates at distal radio-ulnar joint
- can palpate process posteriorly

31
Q

interosseous membrane

A
  • fibrous sheath
  • separates forearm muscles into anterior and posterior compartments
32
Q

annular ligament

A
  • think band surrounding head of radius
  • maintains contact of radius with radial notch of ulna
  • proximal radioulnar joint
  • flexibility allows for pronation and supination
33
Q

radioulnar ligaments

A
  • stabilizers
  • distal radioulnar joint
34
Q

bones of the wrist

A

proximal row (lateral to medial)
Scaphoid–> Lunate–> Triquetrum–> pisiform

distal row (medial to lateral)
hamate–> capitate–> trapezoid–> trapezium

35
Q

what can you not see from the dorsal view

A
  • pisiform
  • hook of hamate
36
Q

what is on the hamate

A

hook of hamate

37
Q

radiocarpal joint

A
  • radius articulates with scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum
  • direct articulation
  • synovial condylar (ellipsoidal joint)
38
Q

ulnocarpal joint

A
  • ulna connects with lunate and triquetrum
  • no direct articulation
  • common site of wrist injuries
    (ligaments connect them together)
39
Q

phalanges

A
  • proximal interphalangeal joints
  • distal interphalangeal joints
    distal phalanx
    middle phalanx
    proximal phalanx
  • thumb (pollox) only has proximal and distal phalanges
40
Q

metacarpals

A
  • numbered 1-5 lateral to medial
  • carpometacarpal joints
  • metacarpal phalangeal joint
41
Q

what joint does the thumb not have

A

no distal interphalangeal joint
