Term
Erb's Palsy
Definition
Tear of upper trunk of brachial plexus (C5 and C6 roots), paralyzed abductors/lateral rotators/bicep pronation. Limb hangs by side, medially rotated and with pronated forearms.
Term
Klumpke's palsy and thoracic outlet
Definition
Embryologic or childhood defect affecting inferior trunk brachial plexus (C8, T1), a cervical rib can compress SCA and inferior trunk, resulting in T.O.S: Atrophy thenar/hypothenar/interossei; sensory deficits medial forearm and hand; disappearance of radial pulse upon moving head to opposite side.
Term
Ulnar claw
Definition
Distal ulnar lesion-->loss of medial lumbrical function. 4th and 5th digits clawed.
Term
Median claw
Definition
Distal median nerve lesion (after branch containing C5-C7 branches to feed forearm flexors)--> loss of lateral lumbrical function. 2nd and 3rd digits are clawed
Term
Ape hand
Definition
Proximal median nerve lesion-->loss opponens pollicis muscle function-->unopposable thumb (can't abduct)
Term
Klumpke ultra claw
Definition
Lesion of loewr trunk (C8, T1) of brachial plexus, loss of lumbrical function...forearm ifinger flexors (fed by median nerve C5-C7) and finger extensors (radial nerve) are unopposed --> clawing all digits
Term

Definition
"Great extensor nerve"
Brachioradialis
Extensors wrist/fingers
Supinator

Definition
Disease: Increase in anxiety, Decrease in depression

Location: Locus ceruleus
Term
Dopamine diseases + synthesis location
Definition
Disease: Increase in schizo
