Cervical plexus
-Provides innervation for?
-Formed by?
-Location?
-CN XI
-Facial muscles and cutaneous head and neck
-Anterior rami of C1-4

Spinal cord:
1. Cervical enlargement
2. Lumbosacral enlargements
3. Ending?
1. C5-T1 where anterior rami give rise to brachial plexus
2. L1 - S2 where anterior rami give rise to lumbar and sacral plexus
3. Ends at L2 and then becomes cauda equina
Brachial Plexus:
-Formed by?
-Components medial to lateral
-Anterior rami of C5-C8 to T1
-Roots (AR of C5-T1), Trunks (3 total), Divisions (Anterior/posterior), Cords (3 total), Branches (musculocutaneous, median, radial, ulnar)
Brachial Plexus:
-Roots
-Trunks
-Roots: Pass between scalene medius and anterior, posterior and superior to subclavian artery

-Trunks: Pass laterally over 1st rib to enter the axilla.
-Superior from C5 and C6 root
-Middle from C7 root
-Inferior from C8 and T1 root and is posterior to subclavian artery
Brachial Plexus:
-Divisions
-Divisions: trunks divide into anterior/posterior at level of clavicle.
-Posterior eventually give rise to peripheral nerves that innervate posterior arm/forearm
-Anterior eventually give rise to peripheral nerves that innervate anterior arm/forearm
Brachial Plexus:
-Cords
-named based on their relationship to axillary artery
-Most peripheral nerves arise from cords
-Lateral and medial cord innervate anterior compartment while posterior cord innervate posterior compartment

-Lateral: Anterior divisions of superior and middle trunk with contributions from C5,6,7
-Posterior: Posterior divisions of all 3 trunks with contributions from C5-T1.
-Medial: continuation of inferior trunk with contributions from C8 and T1.
Brachial plexus: Branches
-Musculocutaneous
Muscuolcuteanous:
-arises from lateral cord (C5-7) at lower border of pec minor, pierces coracobrachialis, passes between biceps and brachialis
-Muscular component = coracobrachialis, brachialis, biceps
-Cutaneous component = (after elbow) lateral forearm to wrist
Brachial Plexus: Branches
-Median
Median:
-arises from lateral and medial cord (C5-7 and C8, T1)
-Runs lateral to brachial artery, then medial to brachial artery at the cubital fossa where it continues to remain medial
-Muscular: all forearm flexors (except FCU, medial 1/2 FDP), thenar eminance (except FPB), lateral 2 lumbricals
-Cutaneous: dorsal aspect of digits, thenar eminance, palmar radial 3.5 digits
Brachial Plexus: Branches
-Radial
Radial:
-arises from posterior cord (C5-T1) and is largest branch
-leaves axilla posteriorly via triangular interval
-runs anteriorly between brachialis and brachioradialis
-At the lateral epicondyle, runs between 2 heads of supinator to give rise to the PIN
-Muscular: all muscles of the posterior arm and forearm
-Cutaneous: all skin on posterior arm and forearm, lower lateral arm and dorsal lateral hand
Triangular Interval
Medial border = long head of triceps
Lateral border = humerus
Superior border = teres major
Brachial Plexus: Branches
-Ulnar
Ulnar:
-arises from medial cord (C8, T1)
-runs down arm medial to brachial artery, posterior to medial epicondyle between 2 heads of the FCU
-Muscular: FCU, medial 1/2 FDP and all hand intrinsics (except thenar eminance and lateral 2 lumbricals)
-Cutaneous: palmar and dorsal medial 1.5 digits
Brachial Plexus: Branches of the roots
-Dorsal Scapular
-Long Thoracic
-Contribution of Phrenic Nerve
Dorsal Scapular:
-Arises from C5 root
-Pierces scalene medius to run medial to scapula
-Innervate rhomboids and sometimes levator scapulae

Long Thoracic
-innervates serratus anterior
Brachial Plexus: Branches of the trunks
-Suprascapular
-Subclavian
-Comes off of superior trunk

Suprascapular: Supraspinatus and infraspinatus
Subclavian: Subclavius muscle
Brachial Plexus: Branches of the cords
-Lateral cord
-Medial cord
-Posterior cord
Lateral cord
-Lateral pectoral: Pectoralis major

Medial cord
-Medial antebrachial: cutaneous innervation of medial forearm
-Medial brachial: cutaneous innervation of medial arm
-Medial pectoral: muscular innervation of pec major and minor

Posterior cord
-Lower subscapular: subscapularis and teres major
-Thoracodorsal: latissimus dorsi
-Upper subscapular: subscapularis
Brachial Plexus: Axillary nerve
-arises from posterior cord
-passes through quadrilateral space
-splits into anterior and posterior components
-anterior innervates deltoids
-posterior innervates teres minor
Temporalis
-attachment, action, innvervation
