    Study Notes

    Brachial Plexus Nerves

    • The musculocutaneous nerve is formed by the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.
    • The median nerve is formed by the anterior division of the upper and middle trunks of the brachial plexus.
    • The median nerve originates from the anterior division of the upper and middle trunks of the brachial plexus.
    • The ulnar nerve is formed by the anterior division of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus.
    • The posterior cord of the brachial plexus is formed by the posterior division of all three trunks (upper, middle, and lower).
    • The axillary nerve is not formed by the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.
    • The lateral cord of the brachial plexus is formed by the anterior divisions of the upper and middle trunks.
    • The radial nerve is not formed by the medial cord of the brachial plexus.
    • The median nerve is not formed by the anterior division of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus.
    • The axillary nerve and radial nerve are not given by the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.
