Study Notes
Anatomy of the Brachial Plexus and Shoulder Girdle Muscles
- The brachial plexus is a major nerve that supplies the upper limb and begins in the neck and extends into the axilla.
- It is formed by the union of the anterior rami of C5-C8 and T1.
- The roots of the plexus pass through the gap between the anterior and middle scalene muscles in the neck.
- The roots unite in the inferior part of the neck to form three trunks: superior, middle, and inferior.
- Each trunk divides into anterior and posterior divisions as the plexus passes posterior to the clavicle.
- The anterior divisions of the trunk supply the anterior (flexor) compartments of the upper limb, while the posterior divisions supply the posterior (extensor) compartments.
- The divisions of the trunks form three cords of the brachial plexus: lateral, medial, and posterior.
- The brachial plexus forms multi-segmental peripheral nerves that are named and supply different parts of the upper limb.
- The brachial plexus is divided into supraclavicular and infraclavicular parts by the clavicle.
- The supraclavicular part gives rise to four branches, including the dorsal scapular nerve and the suprascapular nerve.
- The infraclavicular part gives rise to branches from the cords of the brachial plexus, including the musculocutaneous nerve, axillary nerve, and radial nerve.
- The terminal branches of the brachial plexus include the musculocutaneous nerve, axillary nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, and ulnar nerve.
