Discussion
The Basics - Anatomy


Motor nerves are always accompanied by
vascular pedicles
Pedicles
Dominant – can sustain entire muscle on its own
 Minor – maintains only a portion of the muscle
 Segmental –nourishes small segment of the muscle


Allows for a classification scheme
The Basics- Physiology

Arc of Rotation
Standard – extent of reach of the muscle based on
its dominant pedicle
 Reverse (distally based) – restricted by secondary
pedicles

The Basics- Physiology

