Brachial plexus (C5-T1)
The brachial plexus is the spinal cord feature associated with the leash of nerves supplying the upper limbs.
Spinal chords
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that controls movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. It is formed by the combination of nerves from the cervical spine and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the upper limb. Damage to the brachial plexus can result in weakness, numbness, or paralysis in the affected arm.
A plexus is the structure that contains a network of axons from several anterior rami. Examples include the brachial plexus in the arm and the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back and pelvis.
The function of the brachial plexus is cutaneous and muscular innervation of the upper limb. It is a network of nerves running from the spine and neck into the arm.
The first thoracic nerve roots are in the brachial plexus. The nerves pass through the neck, the armpit area, and then into the arm.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that originate from the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord. It controls the muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand, and provides feeling to the upper limb. Damage to the brachial plexus can result in weakness or loss of function in the affected areas.
The branchial plexus is a network of nerves that innervates the muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand. It allows for the movement and sensation of these parts of the body.
Nerves that interweave together are referred to as nerve plexus. They are a network of intersecting nerves that supply a specific region of the body, helping to distribute sensory and motor information efficiently. Examples include the brachial plexus in the arm and the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back and legs.
The pectoralis minor muscle is located near the brachial plexus in the human body. It lies underneath the muscle and can sometimes compress or put pressure on the brachial plexus, which is a network of nerves that control movement and sensation in the arm. This can lead to symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm and hand.
It runs from the neck region to the armpit (under the collarbone) and then down the arm.
Brachial Plexus injuries are caused by damaging of nerves in the shoulder. They can be detected by a loss or decrease in feeling, as well as decreased muscle function in the hand or arm affected.
