Nerves of Upper Limb Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: The marked structure is the _____ nerve.

Answer: musculocutaneous

Flashcard 2: Branches of the medial cord of the brachial plexus (Mnemonic: M4U): - _____ (C8, T1) - Medial cutaneous nerve of the arm (C8, T1) - Medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm (C8, T1) - Ulnar nerve (C8, T1) - Medial root of the median nerve (C8, T1)

Answer: Medial pectoral nerve

Flashcard 3: Branches of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus (Mnemonic: STARS): S: _____ (C5, C6) T: Thoracodorsal nerve (C6-C8) A: Axillary nerve (C5, C6) R: Radial nerve (C5-T1) S: Lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)

Answer: Upper subscapular nerve

Extra: The posterior cord of the brachial plexus is formed by the union of the posterior divisions of all three trunks (Superior, Middle, and Inferior).

Flashcard 4: The _____ (rotator cuff muscle) is innervated by the axillary nerve.

Answer: teres minor

Flashcard 5: The _____ nerve travels with the deep brachial artery around the midshaft of the humerus

Answer: radial

Flashcard 6: Which nerve of the brachial plexus pierces the coracobrachialis muscle?

Answer: Musculocutaneous nerve

Extra: The musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7) arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus. It pierces the coracobrachialis muscle and supplies the muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm (Biceps brachii, Coracobrachialis, and most of the Brachialis). It continues as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

Flashcard 7: The median nerve gains access to the forearm in the medial aspect of the _____ fossa and then immediately courses between the humeral / ulnar heads of the pronator teres muscle

Answer: antecubital

Flashcard 8: The _____ nerve travels with the brachial artery around the distal humerus/cubital fossa

Answer: median

Flashcard 9: A lesion to the #_____ cord would result in wrist drop, paralysis of the deltoid, and impairment of internal rotation of the humerus

Answer: 3 - posterior

Flashcard 10: The space marked is the upper triangular space and the _____ artery is a content of it.

Answer: circumflex scapular
