Study Notes
Nerve Innervation
- The long thoracic nerve innervates the serratus anterior muscle.
- The dorsal scapular nerve innervates the rhomb minor, rhomboid major, and levator scapulae muscles.
- The suprascapular nerve innervates the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.
Brachial Plexus
- The lateral cord consists of the anterior divisions of the upper and middle trunks.
- The posterior cord gives rise to the axillary nerve.
- The upper trunk gives rise to the nerve to the subclavius and the suprascapular nerve.
- The medial cord consists of the anterior division of the lower trunk and gives rise to the ulnar nerve.
Nerve Characteristics
