🗑
what are the three divisions of trunks on the brachial plexus   superior, middle, inferior  
🗑
what are the three divisions of cords   lateral, posterior, medial  
🗑
name the spinal roots of the root division of the brachial plexus and the nerves that come off the roots and what they innervate   C5-T1. nerves that come off are the dorsal scapular and long thoracic nerve. long thoracic innervates serratus anterior. dorsal scapular nerve innervates the rhomboids and levator scapula  
🗑
what are the nerves that come off the trunk of the brachial plexus   nerve to subclavius and suprascapular nerve. suprascapular nerve innervates the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.  
🗑
describe erb's palsy and the cause of it   results from damage to superior trunks/roots of the brachial plexus. the damage can be caused by falling on your shoulder, or pulling a baby out by its neck during birth.  
🗑
describe Klumpke's paralysis and what causes it   it results from damage to inferior trunks/roots of the brachial plexus. the damage can be caused by pulling a baby out by its arm during birth or someone who is falling and they try to grab onto something to help themselves  
🗑
this part of the brachial plexus has no branches of nerves coming off of it   divisions  
🗑
name the nerves that come off the cords of the brachial plexus   lateral pectoral, thoracodorsal, subscapular, antebrachial medial cutaneous, brachial medial cutaneous, medial pectoral  
🗑
what does the lateral pectoral nerve innervate   pectoralis major  
🗑
what does the thoracodorsal nerve innervate   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
what does the subscapular nerve innervate   subscapularis and teris minor  
🗑
what does the antebrachial medial cutaneous nerve innergate   the skin of the forarm  
🗑
what does the brachial medial cutaneous nerve innervate   upper arm  
🗑
what does the medial pectoral nerve inervate   pectoralis major and minor  
🗑
what are the terminal nerves of the brachial plexus and what spinal nerves innervate them   musculocutaneous (C5,C6,C7), axillary (C5,C6), Radial (C5,C6,C7,C8,T1), Median (C6,C7,C8,T1), ulnar (C8,T1)  
🗑
what compartments of the arm does the musculocutaneous nerve innervate?   anterior compartment: corachobrachialis, short head of biceps brachii, long head of biceps brachii, brachialis. it carries sensorhy information from the lateral forarm.  
🗑
what does the axillary nerve innervate   deltoid, teres minor  
🗑
what compartment and muscles are innervated by the radial nerve?   it innervates all the muscles of the posterior compartment of the arm and forarm: long head of triceps brachii, lateral head of triceps brachii, medial head of triceps brachii, anconeus. forarm muscles innervated also.  
🗑
crutches and sitting with arms hanging over a chair can cause problems with which nerve   radial nerve  
🗑
the axillary nerve carries sensory information from what part of the arm   lateral shoulder  
🗑
the radial nerve carries sensory information from what part of the arm   posterior arm and forarm  
🗑
what compartment of the arm does the median nerve innervate   nearly all the muscles of the anterior forarm and a few muscles of the anterior hand  
🗑
what compartment of the arm does the ulnar nerve innervate   nearly all the muscles of the anterior hand an done and 1/2 muscles of the anterior forarm  
🗑
what are the muscles innnervated by the median nerve?   anterior forearm muscles: pronator teres, palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum superficialis, 1/2 of flexor pollicis longus, pronator quadrattus  
🗑

🗑
what does the ulnar nerve innervate   nearly all the muscles o the hand: abductor digiti minimi, opponens digiti inimi, flexor digiti minimi, adductor pollicis, third and fourth lumbricals, palmer interossei, dorsal interossei  
🗑
