Form and function. Demand and supply. This principle is diligently followed in anatomy and physiology.
cervical and lumbar
the spinal nerves which comprise the brachial plexus are C5 - C8 and T1. lumosacral plexus are L1 - L5, S1 - S4 and SR.
Phrenic nerves from brachial and cervical plexus.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves fibers that connects the arm to the spinal cord. Injury of it could cause the arm to be paralyzed, a lack of muscle control, and/or a lack of sensation.
T2 through T12
Plexus is a complex network of nerves.
The spinal nerves that originate from the thoracic portion of the spinal cord don't form plexuses. The word thoracic pertains to the thorax.
Network of spinal nerves
the spinal nerves which comprise the brachial plexus are C5 - C8 and T1. lumosacral plexus are L1 - L5, S1 - S4 and SR.
The brachial plexus is the spinal cord feature associated with the leash of nerves supplying the upper limbs.
lumbosacral plexus
Lumbar plexus
Spinal nerves exiting the spinal canal between L4 and S4 collectively make up the sacral plexus.
Phrenic nerves from brachial and cervical plexus.
It provides innervation to the pelvis, its organs and the lower limb
This group of nerves innervates the muscles and skin of the entire upper limbs except the Trapezius muscle and the skin near the axilla (arm pit). The plexus comes off the spinal cord at C4,C5,C6,C7,C8 and T1 where they mix and form a plexus. There are 5 main nerves that are formed: Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median and ulnar nerves.
The lumbar plexus supplies the abdominal wall, external genitals, and part of the lower limbs. Arising from this plexus are the ilioinguinal, femoral, and obturator nerves.
