PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1.
Plexus Groupings & Peripheral Nerves
Katlyn Keenan
2.
During this Presentation I will
Define a Plexus
List the different plexuses
Tell the main peripheral nerves that are in each plexus
Inform you on what happens when these nerves are damaged

3.
A nerve plexus is formed when nerve fibers converge, or come together

4.
Each plexus sorts out the many fibers and sends them to a specific part of the body.

Cervical
Brachial
Lumbosacral

6.
The cervical plexus
Located between C1- C4
Fibers supply muscles and skin of the neck

7.
The nerve in the Cervical Plexus
is known as the Phrenic Nerve

8.
The Phrenic Nerve stimulates the contraction of the diaphragm.
9.
if the phrenic nerve is damaged, then impulses to the diaphragm are interrupted, and it makes it difficult to breathe.

11.
The brachial plexus
is located between C5 and C8, and on T1
supplies the muscles and skin of the shoulder, forearm, wrist, and hand

12.
There are 2 main nerves in the brachial plexus.
1. Axillary Nerves
2. Radial/Ulnar Nerves

13.
Axillary Nerve
located in the shoulder region
usually weight of the whole body damages the nerve, this is called Crutch Palsy

14.
Radial/Ulnar Nerve
Both serve the forearm, wrist, and hand
damage to the radial nerve causes "wristdrop"
damage to the ulnar nerve causes the hand to appear clawlike
15.
The third type of Plexus is
Lumbosacral Plexus
16.
The lumbosacral plexus
is located on T12, between L1 & L5, and between S1 & S4
gives rise to nerves that supply the muscle and skin of the abdominal wall, external genitalia, buttocks, and lower extremities
17.
The Lumbosacral Nerve is known as the Sciatic Nerve

18.
Sciatic Nerve
supplies musculature of the thigh, leg, and foot
is the longest nerve in the body

19.
Damaging of this nerve can cause intense pain in the buttocks and posterior thigh region. It is usually caused by a ruptured or herniated vertebral disc.
