1. Understanding dermatome patterning in the adult can be very useful for physical diagnosis and patient treatment. Describe the spinal nerve contributions and locations of the dermatomes on the anterior aspect of the upper limb and identify the developmental events that lead to this adult anatomy.
2. The upper and lower extremities have many similarities, but they also have some differences. Describe the adult location of extensors and flexors of the forearm and leg and describe key developmental events that lead to this adult anatomy.
