Axillary nerve- supplies the deltoid and teres minor muscles and the skin of the shoulderRadial nerve- controls the extensor muscles of the upper limb as well as the skin over the posterior and lateral margins of the armMusculocutaneous nerve- supplies the flexor muscles of the upper limb to the skin of the lateral armMedian nerve- innervates the flexor muscles of the forearm and digits, the pronator muscles, and the lateral skin of the hand.Ulnar nerve- controls the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle of the forearm, other muscles of the hand, and the medial skin of the hand

Cervical: C1 - C5Innervates muscles of neck and extend into thoracic cavity, where they control diaphragmatic muscles.

Major nerves: Radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve.Lumbar: T12 - L4Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Genitofemoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and femoral nerve.Sacral: L4-S5Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Sciatic nerve (which branches into tibial and fibular nerves) and pudendal nerve.
