Nerve plexus innervates body wall and limbs with:
Motor supply
Somatosensory (somatic) (proprioception) pain, temp, touch
Autonomic - sympathetic only; energy consuming. sweat/sebaceous oil glands, smooth muscle, etc.
Nerve plexuses are formed by?
Ventral rami of spinal nerves
What do nerve plexuses do?
Network with each other
Cervical plexus innervates what region?
Neck
Brachial plexus innervates what region?
Upper limb
Lumbar plexus innervates what region?
Abdominal
Sacral plexus innervates what region?
Lower limb
What is the function of the brachial plexus?
Motor/sensory/autonomic supply to upper limb (sympathetic only)
Brachial plexus is formed by?
