25
What does the brachial plexus innervate?
Extrinsic & intrinsic muscles of thoracic limb Skin of thoracic limb Lateral wall of thorax
26
Why are there no cell bodies in the brachial plexus?
Cell bodies are located within the grey matter of the ventral horn Efferent nerve travels from ventral horn to effector muscle Afferents synapse in dorsal root ganglion
27
What nerves innervate the extrinsic muscles of the thoracic limbs?
``` Thoracodorsal Lateral Long thoracic Cranial pectoral Caudal pectoral ```
28
What nerves innervate the intrinsic muscles of the thoracic limb?
``` Suprascapular Subscapular Axillary Musculocutaneous Radial Median Ulnar ```
29
Which nerves have cutaneous branches?
Nerves of the intrinsic muscles except supra- subscapular ``` Axillary Musculocutaneous Radial Median Ulnar ```
30
What is the cutaneous area?
The total area of skin that is innervated by a given cutaneous nerve
31
What are the 2 zones of the cutaneous area?
Overlap zone: innervated by two or more cutaneous nerves, located at the periphery of the cutaneous area Autonomous zone: centrally located within the CA Innervated by only 1 nerve
32
How to test for cutaneous sensation?
1. Grasp a small fold of skin 2. Pinch with increasing intensity until reaction occurs or obviously no reaction Any reflex or reaction indicates the nerve is working
33
What muscle does the lateral thoracic nerve innervate?
Cutaneous trunci
34
What is the panniculus relfex
Mild compression of the skin sends signal via dorsal branches of lumbar/thoracic nerves (C8-L3) and results in contraction of cutaneous trunci
35
What does an injury to the suprascapular do?
Atrophy of supraspinatus & infraspinatus Lateral abduction of shoulder "Shoulder slip"
36
What does an injury to the muscolucutaneous nerve do?
Paralyze the main flexor muscles of the cubital joint
37
Where does the axillary nerve pass from the medial to the lateral side?
Proximal to teres major
38
What are the cutaneous branches of the axillary nerve?
Cranial lateral cutaneous brachial (lateral head of triceps) Cranial cutaneous antebrachial
39
What is the cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve?
Medial cutaneous antebrachial
40
Where does the radial nerve pass from the medial to lateral side?
Distal to teres major
41
What branches of the radial nerve innervate the extensor muscles of the cubital joint?
Tricipital branches
42
What are the 2 main branches of the radial nerve?
Superficial branch | Deep branch
43
What nerve runs with the cephalic vein & cranial superficial antebrachial arteries?
Superficial branch of radial nerve has medial & lateral branch
44
What is the purpose of the Lateral cutaneous antebrachial nerve branch from the superficial radial?
Innervates skin | Dorsal common digital nerves (II, III, IV)
45
What is the purpose of the medial branch of the superficial radial?
Dorsal common digital nerves (Lateral)
46
What is the cutaneous area of the deep radial nerve?
Craniolateral aspect of antebrachium and carpus, and dorsal aspect of forepaw
47
What would an injury to the radial nerve proximal to the tricipital branches do?
Paralysis of extensor muscles of cubital joint, extendors muscles of carpal and digital joints Flaccid thoracic limb, no weight-bearing, foot is dragged with dorsal surface on the ground
48
What would an injury to the radial nerve distal to the tricipital branches do?
Paralysis of the extensor muscles of the carpal and digital joints Limb is weight bearing but "knuckling" occurs and dorsal surface of forepaw rests on ground
49
What nerve innervates the palmar aspect of the distal limb?
Medial and lateral branches of median nerve
50
What is the cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve?
Caudal cutaneous antebrachial
51
What are the muscular branches of the ulnar nerve?
Dorsal and palmar branch
52
Which branch innervates the palmar surface of the carpus, metacarpus & digits?
Palmar branch of ulnar nerve
53
Which branch innervates the lateral surface of the 5th digit?
Dorsal branch of ulnar nerve
54
Which ulnar branch innervates the interosseous muscles?
Palmar branch of ulnar nerve
55
What is the cutaneous area of the musculocutaneous nerve?
Medial aspect of antebrachium
56
What is the cutaneous area of the axillary nerve?
Lateral aspect of brachium | Cranial aspect of antebrachium
57
What is the cutaneous area of the radial nerve?
Craniolateral aspect of antebrachium & carpus Dorsal aspect of forepaw
58
What is the cutaneous area for the median nerve?
Palmar aspect of metacarpus and digits
59
What is the cutaneous area for ulnar nerve?
Caudal aspect of antebrachium Palmar surface of carpus, metacarpus, digits Lateral surface of 5th digit
60
What is the cutaneous area for the brachiocephalic nerve?
cranioventral aspect of chest
61
What is the cutaneous area for the ventral cutaneous branch?
Craniodorsal aspect of scapula
62
What are the nerves on the dorsal forepaw called? What nerves make up this network?
Dorsal common digital nerves (Superficial nerves) - Lateral branch of Superficial radial
63
What are the nerves on the palmar forepaw called? What are the nerve components?
Palmar common digital nerves - median nerve Palmar metacarpal nerves - Palmar branch of ulnar nerve)
