Study Notes
Musculocutaneous Nerve
- Branches: The musculocutaneous nerve gives rise to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. This nerve enters the forearm laterally to the biceps brachii tendon.
- Relationships: The lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm travels close to the cephalic vein. This proximity puts it at risk for injury during venipuncture procedures.
