What is a dendrite?

Branches originating from the soma that receive signals from other neurons
100

List the 4 Anterior Axio-appendicular muscles

Pectoralis major

Pectoralis minor

Subclavius

Serratus anterior

100

What is TART

Tissue texture change, Asymmetry, Restriction, Tenderness

100

How many axons does a Schwann cell wrap?

1

100

What innervates serratus anterior?

Long thoracic (C5, C6, C7)

200

How many pairs of spinal nerves are there?

31

200

In general terms, what is a winged scapula?

A dysfunction of a muscle attaching to the scapula that causes it to shift from its normal position (example was serratus anterior in QOD)

200

Compare physiologic vs anatomic vs restrictive barriers

- what pt can actively move a joint

- what physician can passively move joint (structural limiting anatomy)

- lies before the physiologic barrier in somatic dysfunction

200

What type of conduction does myelin sheaths allow for and what type of channels are heavily concentrated at the Nodes of Ranvier?

Saltatory conduction and Na channels

200

What innervates subclavius?

Subclavian n. (C5, C6)

300

What types of Neuroglia are found in the PNS?

Schwann cells and Satellite cells

300

What is the preferred vein for venipuncture?

Median cubital vein

300

What are the 5 roots and 5 branches of the brachial plexus

C5-T1, Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, and ulnar 

300

Where are the cell bodies for sensory, motor, and sympathetics located in the spinal cord?

Dorsal horn, lateral horn, and ventral horn

300

Mnemonic for axillary artery branches?

"Screw The Lawyer, Save A Patient"
400

What is the Nissl substance?

Clumps of rER for protein synthesis

400

Contrast lumpectomy vs quadrantectomy vs total mastectomy

Lumpectomy - only removing tumor

Quadrantectomy - tumor and significant amounts of surround tissue

Mastectomy - entire breast down to pectoral fascia

400

How many sections of the axillary artery are there, where are the anatomical divisions of each section, and what branches off of them

1 - lateral border of 1st rib and medial pec minor -  superior thoracic

2 - medial border of pec minor to lateral border of pec minor - lateral thoracic a. and thoracoacromial a. 

3 - lateral pec minor to inferior teres major - subscapular, anterior circumflex humoral, posterior circumflex humoral


400

Describe the sensory pathway from sensation to cerebral cortex

1st order neuron --> spinal cord --> 2nd order neuron --> crosses over in spinal cord --> up to thalamus --> synapse with 3rd order neuron in thalamus --> primary sensory cortex (post central gyrus)

400

What is Erb's palsy and Klumpke's palsy?

Erb's - upper brachial plexus injury

Klumpke's - lower brachial plexus injury

500

What are lipofuscin granules?


Debris filled vacuole from the broken down contents of lysosomes. Lipofuscin granules build up in non-dividing cells. Also called the "wear-and-tear pigment"

500

Describe the superficial venous drainage of the upper limb starting at the dorsal venous network.

See Powerpoint

500

Describe the boundaries of the axilla

See powerpoint

500

Describe the motor nerve pathway from cerebral cortex to innervation site

Precentral gyrus (primary motor cortex) --> UMN --> Medulla (crosses over at inferior medulla --> spinal cord --> synapse with LMN --> release ACh for response

500

Myotome assessment main actions of C5-T1?

C5 - shoulder abduction

C6 - Elbow flexion

C7 - Elbow extension

C8 - Wrist flexors

T1 - hypothenar muscles (intrinsic hand muscles)
