peer agreement (net): +1reflexes C5-8 (cervical spine) are symmetrical Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2013-12-27 12:33:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- spinal nerves 5-8, of course. There are 7 vertebrae but 8 nerves -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2013-12-27 12:36:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- More specifically: C1 and C2 (the first two cervical nerves) control the head. C3 and C4 help control the diaphragm (the sheet of muscle that stretches to the bottom of the rib cage and plays an important role in breathing and respiration). C5 controls upper body muscles like the Deltoids (which form the rounded contours of the shoulders) and the Biceps (which allow flexion of the elbow and rotation of the forearm). C6 controls the wrist extensors (muscles like the extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor carpi ulnaris that control wrist extension and hyperextension) and also provides some innervation to the biceps. C7 controls the Triceps (the large muscle on the back of the arm that allows for straightening of the elbow). C8 controls the hands. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2013-12-27 12:37:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.spine-health.com/conditions/spine-anatomy/cervica... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-12-27 14:38:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- here is a bit more on reflexes and symetry http://learn.chm.msu.edu/neuroexam/content/reflexes/reflexes... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-12-27 14:38:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- symmetry |
