Spinal cord:
1. Cervical enlargement 2. Lumbosacral enlargements 3. Ending? |
1. C5-T1 where anterior rami give rise to brachial plexus

|
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:
-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 |
