Take this really simple brachial plexus quiz to find out how much you remember about this topic from back when you first learned about it! The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that is responsible for sending signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand, and an injury to this bundle of nerves can be very serious, especially if they are ripped away or torn completely from the spinal cord. Let's begin. All the best!
Neck
Relating to the cervix
Lower back
Trunk
Relating to "wood" meaning the trunk of the body
The curve in the back of the spine
Lower back
A seating position
Bony prominances
Brachial plexus and lumbar plexus
Cervical plexus and lower back plexus
Lumbar area
Cervical area
The arms
The legs
A bundle of something in this case a bundle of arteries
A bundle of something, in this case, a bundle of nerve fibers)
A bundle of something, in this case a bundle of neurons
A bundle of something, in this case a bundle of muscle fibers
Supply movement to the upper extremities
Supply blood to the upper extremities
Supply innervation to the upper extremities.
Supply innervation to the lower extremities
Brachial plexus
Lumbar plexus
I do indeed, innervation means to to "supply with blood"
I do indeed, innervation means to to "supply with muscle"
I do indeed, innervation means to to "supply with nerves"
