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.
