KROK 1 2008 – Question 97 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
A woman suffering from osteochondrosis felt acute pain in her humeral articulation that became stronger when she abducted her shoulder. These symptoms might be caused by damage of the following nerve:
- A. Axillary nerve
- B. Subclavicular nerve
- C. Subscapular nerve
- D. Thoracodorsal nerve
- E. Dorsal scapular nerve
Hint
Consider which brachial plexus nerve supplies the main shoulder abductor beyond the first degrees of abduction and sends articular branches to the joint capsule; nerves of adductors or rotators do not fit.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
