Q

cords of the brachial plexus?

A

lateral medial posterior

16
Q

roots of brachial plexus?

A
C5/C6 = upper trunk
C7 = middle trunk
C8/T1 = lower trunk
17
Q

what branch comes from the medial cord of the brachial plexus?

A

ulnar nerve

18
Q

what branch comes from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus?

A

radial

axillary

19
Q

what branches make the median nerve?

A

lateral and medial join to do so

20
Q

what branch does musculocutaneous nerve come from?

A

lateral

21
Q

5 must know nerves of the brachial plexus?

A
  1. Axillary
  2. radial
  3. median
  4. musculocutaneous
  5. ulnar
22
Q

roots C5/6 help to form which trunk of the brachial plexus?

A
upper!
think about it...C5/6 must be higher on the spinal cord than C7 & C8/T1
therefore it must form the upper trunk
and C7 the middle trunk
and C8/T1 the lower trunk
23
Q

how could you damage the upper trunk of the brachial plexus?

A

Erb-Duchenne palsy

shoulder down and head to the side could snap it

24
Q

how could you damage the lower trunk?

A

Klumpke’s paralysis
by falling off a cliff and grabbing hold of a tree to stop the fall
yanking that trunk

25
Q

what nerve of the brachial plexus doesnt extend down the upper limb?

A

axillary
