An example is given below, with the meanings of headings explained (some muscles will have abbreviated versions of this). A Note About Peripheral Nerve Supply T he peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises all the neural structures outside the brain and spinal cord, which constitute the central nervous system (CNS) . The PNS has two main components: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system ; the latter deals with involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands. As this book is concerned with skeletal muscles, it is only the somatic nervous system that is of interest. The PNS consists of 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves, along with their subsequent branches. The spinal nerves are numbered according to the level of the spinal cord from which they arise, known as the spinal segment .
In this book the relevant peripheral nerve supply is listed with each muscle. However, the spinal segment from which the nerve fibers arise often varies between different sources. This is because spinal nerves are organized into networks known as plexuses (plexus = a network of nerves: from Latin plectere = to braid), which supply different regions of the body, and nerve fibers from different spinal segments will contribute to the individual named nerve that supplies a particular muscle. For each muscle in this book, the spinal levels that typically contribute to its named nerve are indicated. The relevant spinal segments are represented by C for cervical, T for thoracic, L for lumbar, and S for sacral, followed by a number representing the level. A spinal segment, showing the nerve roots combining to form a spinal nerve, which then divides into ventral and dorsal rami. A spinal segment, showing the nerve roots combining to form a spinal nerve, which then divides into ventral and dorsal rami.
A spinal segment is the part of the spinal cord that gives rise to each pair of spinal nerves, one for each side of the body. Each spinal nerve contains sensory and motor fibers from the dorsal and ventral roots respectively. Soon after the spinal nerve exits through the foramen or opening between adjacent vertebrae, it divides into a dorsal primary ramus, which is directed posteriorly, and a ventral primary ramus, which is directed anteriorly and laterally. Fibers from the dorsal rami innervate the skin and extensor muscles of the neck and trunk. The ventral rami supply the limbs, as well as the sides and front of the trunk. Anatomical Terms Positions To describe the relative positions of body parts and their movements, it is essential to have a universally accepted initial reference position.
This is known as the anatomical position , which is simply the upright standing position, with feet flat on the floor, arms hanging by the sides and the palms facing forward (see ). The directional terminology used always refers to the body as if it were in the anatomical position, regardless of its actual position. Note also that the terms left and right refer to the sides of the object or person being viewed, and not those of the reader. Figure 1.1. Anterior. Figure 1.2. Posterior. Posterior.
