-
After leaving the spinal roots the brachial plexus follows the blood supply between what muscles before extending into the upper limb?
The anterior and middle scalenes.
-
Name the 4 sections of the B. plexus:
- 1. Roots
- 2. Trunks
- 3. Divisions
- 4. Cords
-
The roots come off of what part of the spinal cord?
Anterior ramii.
-
What spinal nerves make up the roots of the plexus?
-
Which roots make up the superior trunk?
-
Which roots make up the middle trunk?
C7
-
C8 and T1 join to form which trunk?
Inferior trunk.
-
Describe what happens to the trunks as we move further down the plexus:
Each trunk forms an Anterior and Posterior division.
-
How many anterior divisions are there?
3
-
How many posterior divisions are there?
3
-
What is a really good way to identify the posterior divisions?
All 3 posterior divisions merge together, and forming an M.
-
You are looking at an exposed brachial plexus and you see an M and immediately superior is a V and below there is just an I. What section of the plexus are you looking at.
The 2 anterior divisions of the upper and middle trunks have come together to form the V, and the anterior division of the lower trunk does not merge with anything and forms an I.
-
Describe the cords:
- The Lateral cord is formed by the 2 AD Upper & Middle Trunks (V).
