A better question might be which nerves innervate muscles in the arm, or for a specific muscle what is its innervation. Some of the upper extremity (arm) muscles & their innervations from proximal to distal (close to the body to far from the body) include:
- pectoralis major - lateral and medial pectoral nerves
- pectoralis minor - medial pectoral nerve
- subclavius - nerve to subclavius
- serratus anterior - long thoracic nerve
- trapezius - accessory nerve & C3-4 nerve roots
- latissimus dorsi - thoracodorsal nerve
- levator scapulae - dorsal scapular nerve & C3-4 nerve roots
- rhomboid major & minor - dorsal scapular nerve
- deltoid - axillary nerve
- supraspinatus - suprascapular nerve
- infraspinatus - suprascapular nerve
- teres minor - axillary nerve
- teres major - lower subscapular nerve
- subscapularis - upper and lower subscapular nervers
- biceps brachii - musculocutaneous nerve

- coracobrachialis - musculocutaneous nerve
- triceps brachii - radial nerve
- anconeus - radial nerve
- pronator teres - median nerve
- flexor carpi radialis - median nerve
- palmaris longus - median nerve
- flexor carpi ulnaris - ulnar nerve
- flexor digitorum superficialis - median nerve

What else can I help you with?
Which of the nerve plexuses serves the shoulder and arm?
The brachial plexus serves the shoulder and arm. It is a network of nerves located in the neck and armpit region that supplies motor and sensory innervation to the muscles and skin of the shoulder and arm.
What is the main function of the muscolocutaneous nerve?
The main function of the musculocutaneous nerve is to innervate the muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm, including the biceps brachii muscle. It also provides sensory innervation to the lateral aspect of the forearm.
The muscle of the arm such as the biceps brachii have what innervation?
Musculocutaneous
Does the arector pili muscles receive direct parasympathetic innervation?
Arector pili muscles get innervation from sympathetic out flow. But the neurotransmitter is acetylcholine. So functionally the nerve supply is parasympathetic.
How do you get rid of a dead arm?
The loss of nerve innervation to the affected limb.
What is the major anterior upper arm muscle called?
the upper arm is located between the shoulder joint and elbow joint. It contains four muscles - three in the anterior compartment (biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis), and one in the posterior compartment (triceps brachii). In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the muscles of the upper arm - their attachments, innervation and actions.
Which upper limb muscles has double innervation?
The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is an upper limb muscle that has double innervation from both the ulnar and medial nerves.
The muscles of the arm are what to the skin of the arm?
The muscles of the arm are natural tighteners to the skin of the arm
What muscles are used in catching a ball?
