Study Notes
Formation of the Upper Trunk of the Brachial Plexus
- The roots that join to form the Upper trunk of the brachial plexus are C5 and C6.
Supply to Anterior and Posterior Aspects of the Limb
- The anterior and posterior divisions of the brachial plexus ultimately supply the anterior and posterior aspects of the limb, respectively.
Formation of the Lateral Cord
- The lateral cord is formed by the anterior divisions of the upper, middle, and lower trunks.
Contribution to the Formation of the Brachial Plexus
- The spinal nerves that contribute to the formation of the brachial plexus are C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1.
