|
Innervation: sternocleidomastoid & trapezius muscles
|
|
Hypoglossal Nerve XIII
|
Innervation: muscles of the tongue
|
|
Vagus Nerve X
|
Innervation: both motor and sensory fibers to the visceral body organs
|
|
Infraorbital Nerve
|
Innervation: lower eyelid and upper lip
|
|
Phrenic Nerve
|
Innervation: diaphragm muscle to control breathing
|
|
Suprascapular Nerve
|
Innervation: supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles
Anatomical Pathway: suprascapular notch of the scapula |
|
Subscapular Nerves
|
Innervation: subscapularis, teres major, & latissimus dorsi muscles
|
|
Axillary Nerve
|
Innervation: deltoid and teres minor muscles
|
|
Musculocutaneous Nerve
|
Innervation: coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, and brachialis muscles
|
|
Radial Nerve
|
Innervation: triceps brachii muscles and all muscles of the posterior forearm, sensation to lateral posterior surface of the hand
Anatomical Pathway: radial groove of the humerus bone Pathology: when damaged can't draw wrist up. referred to as wrist drop |
|
Median Nerve
|
Innervation: sensation to the lateral anterior hand
Anatomical Pathway: carpal tunnel Pathology: carpal tunnel syndrome is generally associated with compression of this nerve |
|
Ulnar Nerve
|
Innervation: sensation to the anterior and posterior medial hand
Anatomical Pathway: behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus Pathology: superficial and thus often exposed to contact stimulation and pain in the "funny bone" |
|
Long Thoracic Nerve
|
Innervation: serratus ventralis muscle
Pathology: when this nerve is damaged the scapula wings out as it can no longer be held against the body wall |
|
Sciatic Nerve
|
Innervation: biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles
Anatomical Pathway: greater sciatic notch of the pelvis |
|
Tibial Nerve
|
Innervation: gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles
|
|
Common Fibular Nerve
|
Innervation: anterior muscles of the leg (not the thigh)
Pathology: when damaged muscles in the posterior leg are no longer antagonized by contracting muscles from the anterior leg resulting in an unsynchronized foot drop with each step |
|
Femoral Nerve
|
Innervation: rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedialis muscles
|
|
Lateral Cutaneous Nerve
|
Innervation: sensation to the lateral thigh
|
|
Obturator Nerve
|
Innervation: sensation to the medial thigh
Anatomical Pathway: obturator foramen of the hip |
|
Saphenous Nerve
|
Innervation: sensation to the medial leg and foot
|
|
Sympathetic trunk and ganglia
|
Innervation: distributes fibers through the ramus communicans for sympathetic influence into spinal nerves
