The peripheral nervous system and reflex activity (part c) provides knowledge of spinal nerves. The goal is for you to learn: Describe the formation of a spinal nerve and the general distribution of its rami; define plexus, name the major plexuses and describe the distribution and function of the peripheral nerves arising from each plexus.

Spinal Nerves: Roots

Trang 5Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Spinal Nerves: Roots
• Contain sensory (afferent) fibers from sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia
• Conduct impulses from peripheral receptors
nerves, which then emerge from the vertebral column via the intervertebral foramina

Spinal Nerves: Rami
• Dorsal ramus
• Larger ventral ramus
join to the ventral rami in the thoracic region

Spinal Nerves: Rami
nerve networks called plexuses (cervical,
brachial, lumbar, and sacral)
several branches
supply muscles of the ribs, anterolateral
thorax, and abdominal wall

• Major branches of this plexus:
• Roots—five ventral rami (C5–T1)
• Trunks—upper, middle, and lower
• Divisions—anterior and posterior
• Cords—lateral, medial, and posterior

Brachial Plexus: Nerves
• Axillary—innervates the deltoid, teres minor, and skin and joint capsule of the shoulder
• Musculocutaneous—innervates the biceps brachii
and brachialis and skin of lateral forearm
• Median—innervates the skin, most flexors and
pronators in the forearm, and some intrinsic muscles
of the hand
• Ulnar—supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris, part of the
flexor digitorum profundus, most intrinsic muscles of the hand, and skin of medial aspect of hand
• Radial—innervates essentially all extensor muscles, supinators, and posterior skin of limb

• Longest and thickest nerve of the body
• Innervates the hamstring muscles, adductor magnus, and most muscles in the leg and foot
• Composed of two nerves: tibial and common fibular
