39
Q

Most of the sensory innervation of the posterior surface of forearm and arm is innervated by

A

Radial nerve

40
Q

The sensory innervation of pink areas are innervated by

A

radial nerve

41
Q

The sensory innervation of the light green areas are innervated by

A

Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve C8-T1

42
Q

Referred cardiac pain is often felt at

A

Posteromedial surface of the left upper limb

Q

Why is referred cardiac pain felt at the posteromedial surface of the left upper limb

A

Left limb because that is the side where the heart is located at

The sensory innervation of that area of skin is by C8-T1 (medial cutaneous, branch of radial nerve, intercostalbrachial nerve) and the visceral afferents of heart enters that region as well
