This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... the first four FIG. 46. Anterior surface outline of the liver and large intestine. cervical vertebrae is called a vaso-motor center for the head, face and neck. Affections of the Cervical Nerves.--These upper cervical nerves are seldom paralyzed. Paralysis in this region would stop the action of the diaphragm. Neuralgia may affect the nerves of this group. Spasmodic contraction of the muscles innervated from this area is not uncommon. Brachial Plexus.--The four lower cervical nerves arise from the cervical enlargement of the cord and form the brachial plexus with their anterior divisions, while their posterior divisions supply motor fibers to muscles on the sides and back of the neck, and sensory fibers to the skin over these muscles. The anterior division of the first dorsal nerve forms a part of the brachial plexus. Fig. 33 illustrates the superficial area in which the reflexes from the skin and muscles of the arm are manifested. Subluxations or muscular contractions, in this area may affect one or more branches of this plexus. Affections of the Brachial Nerves.--Neuralgia, paralysis or spasm may affect the area innervated by this group. Cervico-brachial neuralgia is quite common. A lesion will usually be found affecting the painful nerve at its point of exit from the spinal column. Paralysis rarely affects this plexus independently of the nerves leaving the cord at a lower level. Spasm is represented by such a condition as writer's cramp. Lesions causing cramp or neuralgia may be located at the point of exit of the nerve from the spinal column, but the clot or other pressure causing paralysis is usually located in the brain.
