The Brachial Plexus explained

Dr. Preddy teaches the Brachial Plexus and shares an easy way to always remember it. This is done during Anatomy Lab at Touro University Nevada. Video will flip right side up at approximately 0:09.

This is the best anatomy lecturer I have ever come across!!!!
Dr Preddy, please please please make more videos! You need a YouTube
Your lessons are so exceptional!

Very good teaching method.
One remark: C8-T1 palsy isn't Erb's palsy (that's C5-C6) but Klumpke's palsy.
And you don't have to brake your neck to have panplexus palsy. In that case, you'll have tetraplegia and that isn't a peripheral nerve injury.
Thanks for sharing

If we clone this guy distribute to other med schools, number of doctors will increase. Think about it.

I can't believe how easy this guy makes stuff!  Simple, straightforward.  I really liked that a student had the courage to ask a 'stupid question' - which, I believe there ARE no stupid questions ---- anyway, asking the question, allowed me, asking the same question in my own mind, to get a very simple answer.

The question, "Couldn't you still go --- " "Not backwards"....and then more explanation.  Gave me a much deeper understanding.

I remember taking anatomy and physiology when I wanted to become a massage therapist.  I had a difficult time memorizing everything.  The schooling was so rapid-fire, that I lost a lot of the foundation that I needed to understand the other higher concepts.

What this guy does is give you SYSTEMS to understand the material - a mental map in order to add more information to; and he helps you do that all along the way.

Knowing this information, cold, or not, could be the difference between saving a person's life and letting them die.

Watching this now in 2021 as an MS1! Thank you Dr. Preddy. I somehow understand this now. I just wanted to let you are impacting a medical student across the country and 10 years apart from when you originally taught this.

legit just found my new hero. If I survive pt school, he's a good chunk of the reason why.

[anniepapciak]

Him: "That's It!"
Me: *screaming*

[lonelydogclub]

This prof. is saving more lifes than he knew. Thank you!
Unlike our prof who kicks students out of class because they ask stupid questions, this prof. actually helps his students.
That is why when he finished his lecture, every claps. Our prof. finishes his lecture, nobody claps.

8 years later and I'm sure some of these students are already doctors by now. Surely med school is tough, but it's just a matter of time. Now time to go back to studying 🙂

C8 damage at 1:28 is not called Erbs palsy, its called Klumpke's palsy. Erbs palsy is damage to the upper part of the brachial plexus, C5, C6, and if its exteded Erbs palsy, it will include C7. Careful doc

[rampitup]

This is a much more clinically useful way of imaging the plexus than the more streamlined drawing. Helps a lot in understanding why some terminal branches aren't affected by certain upstream injuries.

Dr Preddy simplifies everything. Thank you. 👍🏼

[DRHEALTHGK]

please we need more of this guy's videos

[sirajshariff]

If my lecturer was as good as you I wouldn't be spending all my Time in the

[davidemmyg]

man he makes it so easy and uncluttered, i wish my teachers were like this

[Persicutor]

Great video. Just a couple of small errors: radial and axillary nerves should be switched (axillary is more lateral).  Also, the medial brachial and medial antebrachial cutaneous nerves are branches off of the MEDIAL CORD, not the ulnar nerve where he drew them.

[nicolasbaroni]

i need more dr. preddy content. he is the greatest

[GeorgeChar]

If it wasn't for Dr Preddy and this awesome video, i wouldn't have passed anatomy today.

[arielizee]

Dr Preddy, thanks a lot just learned this today at school and went OMG I don, t understand a thing, but you make it look so easy.

[swcoast]

Such an awesome teacher! He really engages with the students so well, and you can tell he has the full attention of his students. Wish there was also a video for the lumbosacral plexus. Do you have one available? Pass on our thanks to him.
