It runs from the neck region to the armpit (under the collarbone) and then down the arm.
The major plexuses of the spinal cord are the cervical plexus (C1-C5), brachial plexus (C5-T1), lumbar plexus (L1-L4), and sacral plexus (L4-S4). These plexuses are networks of nerves that supply motor and sensory function to various regions of the body.
The radial nerve is derived from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, which is formed by the fusion of the posterior divisions of the upper, middle, and lower trunks of the brachial plexus.
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.
Brachial plexus....
The brachial plexus primarily comprises the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5 to T1, but there are several nerves that are not part of it. Notably, the intercostal nerves, which arise from the thoracic spinal nerves (T1 to T11), and the phrenic nerve, which originates from C3 to C5, are not included in the brachial plexus. Additionally, the cranial nerves, such as the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), also do not belong to this plexus.
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.
The median nerve is a member of the brachial plexus. It is formed by contributions from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, primarily from spinal nerve roots C6, C7, C8, and T1.
The Ulnar nerve is located in the joint of the elbow. It is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body, therefore injuries are very common. It is also commonly referred to as the "Funny Bone".
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.
The major plexuses of the spinal cord are the cervical plexus (C1-C5), brachial plexus (C5-T1), lumbar plexus (L1-L4), and sacral plexus (L4-S4). These plexuses are networks of nerves that supply motor and sensory function to various regions of the body.
Brachial plexus (C5-T1)
The radial nerve is derived from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, which is formed by the fusion of the posterior divisions of the upper, middle, and lower trunks of the brachial plexus.
The brachial plexus.
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 axillary nerve, which arises from the brachial plexus, is primarily responsible for innervating the deltoid muscle. It provides motor innervation to the deltoid muscle, controlling its function of shoulder abduction.
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.
