Brachialis
Two joint muscles in the upper limb is the wrist and the elbow. Two joint muscles in the lower limb is the ankle and the knee.
The brachial plexus supplies motor and sensory innervation to the upper limb. It is formed by the ventral rami of the spinal nerves C5-T1, and its branches include the musculocutaneous, median, ulnar, radial, and axillary nerves. These nerves control the muscles and provide sensation to the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
The part of the upper limb between the wrist and elbow is called the forearm. It contains two long bones, the radius and ulna, and muscles responsible for moving the wrist, hand, and fingers. The forearm serves as a crucial link in the chain of movement between the hand and the upper arm.
For a limb to move, you need muscles, nerves, and a signal from the brain. The brain sends signals through nerves to the muscles, which contract and allow the limb to move.
The most proximal part of the upper limb is the shoulder, specifically the shoulder girdle, which connects the upper limb to the trunk. This includes structures such as the clavicle (collarbone) and scapula (shoulder blade). The shoulder joint itself, where the humerus meets the scapula, is also considered a proximal feature of the upper limb.

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 proximal limb muscles control functions and movements such as lifting, pushing, pulling, and stabilizing the body. These muscles are responsible for movements involving the shoulder, upper arm, and hip joints.

It provides innervation to the pelvis, its organs and the lower limb
The upper limb functions in various activities such as lifting, grasping, and manipulating objects. It also plays a crucial role in activities like writing, typing, and gesturing. Additionally, the upper limb is involved in providing support and stability for the body during tasks like pushing, pulling, or carrying items.
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm, forearm and hand.
Coracoid Process. The coracoid process points anteriorly over the tip of the shoulder joint and serves as an attachment point for some of the upper limb muscles.
