Which muscles are innervated by the nerve that arises from the lateral cord and also contains fibers from C5, C6, and C7?

Which of the following nerves provides cutaneous innervation to the medial side of the forearm?

In the majority of cases, which nerve receives a communicating branch from the lateral cord?

Which cord of the brachial plexus gives rise to the upper and lower subscapular nerves?

Which of the following nerves that originate from the brachial plexus innervates the teres major muscle?

A patient presents with weakness in adduction, internal rotation, and extension of the arm. Damage to which nerve is most likely?

A patient has lost sensation on the medial side of their forearm, which nerve is most likely damaged?

What spinal nerve roots primarily contribute to the formation of the lateral cord of the brachial plexus?

What muscles are innervated by the nerves originating from the posterior cord?

If the lateral cord is damaged, predict which motion would be most affected due to the innervation of the related musculature:

The lateral cord (C5, 6, 7) gives off the lateral ______ nerve which supplies the pectoralis major.

The lateral cord (C5, 6, 7) gives off the ______ nerve which supplies coracobrachialis and biceps.

The lateral cord (C5, 6, 7) gives off the lateral root of the ______ nerve.

The medial cord (C8, T1) gives off the medial ______ nerve which supplies pectoralis major.

The medial cord (C8, T1) gives off the medial ______ nerve of the arm which supplies the skin over the front and the medial side of the arm.

The medial cord (C8, T1) gives off the medial ______ nerve of the forearm which supplies the skin over the lower part of the arm and the medial side of the forearm.

The medial cord (C8, T1) gives off the medial root of the ______ nerve.

The medial cord (C8, T1) gives off the ______ nerve, and in 90% of cases, this nerve receives a branch (C6, 7) from the lateral cord.

The posterior cord (C5, 6, 7, 8, T1) gives off the upper ______ nerve (C5, 6), which partly supplies subscapularis.

The posterior cord (C5, 6, 7, 8, T1) gives off the lower ______ nerve (C5, 6), which supplies subscapularis and teres major.

A patient has difficulty with adduction, extension, and internal rotation of the arm. Which nerve is MOST likely affected?

Which nerve originating from the brachial plexus is responsible for innervating the latissimus dorsi muscle?

Damage to which nerve would MOST directly impact the ability to perform powerful downward strokes, such as chopping wood?

Which of the following nerves receives contributions from all of the following spinal nerve roots: C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1?

Compared to the axillary nerve, what additional spinal nerve roots contribute to the radial nerve?

Assuming no other nerve damage occurred, what combination of arm motions would be MOST weakened following damage to the nerve originating from spinal nerve roots C6, C7, and C8?

A patient has full function of all muscles of the arm except for the latissimus dorsi. Which nerve is MOST likely injured?

Which nerve listed arises from the brachial plexus with the LEAST number of spinal nerve roots represented?

A surgeon is performing a procedure in the axilla and needs to identify the nerve responsible for latissimus dorsi innervation. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate target?

If a patient can abduct their arm from 0-15 degrees but loses the ability to do so past 15 degrees, which nerve is MOST likely intact?
