Nerves · Upper limbPalmar branch of ulnar nerveRamus palmaris nervi ulnarisA small cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that arises in the forearm and supplies skin over the hypothenar side of the palm and wrist.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus posterior antebrachiiA cutaneous branch of the radial nerve, given in the arm, that supplies a strip of skin down the back of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveRamus posterior nervi cutanei medialis antebrachiiThe smaller terminal branch of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, supplying skin on the back of the ulnar side of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior cord of brachial plexusFasciculus posterior plexus brachialisThe cord of the brachial plexus behind the axillary artery, built from all three posterior divisions and giving the radial and axillary nerves.

Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of middle trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci medii plexus brachialisThe back-facing branch of the middle trunk of the brachial plexus, carrying C7 fibres into the posterior cord.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of superior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci superioris plexus brachialisThe back branch of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, which joins the other posterior divisions behind the clavicle to form the posterior cord.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior interosseous nerve of forearmNervus interosseus posterior antebrachiiThe motor nerve of the back of the forearm, carrying on from the deep radial branch to the extensor muscles.
Nerves · Upper limbProper palmar digital branches of median nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi medianiThe digital nerves of the median nerve that run along the sides of the thumb, index, middle and radial half of the ring finger.
Nerves · Upper limbProper palmar digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi ulnarisThe digital nerves from the ulnar nerve's superficial branch that supply the little finger and the ulnar side of the ring finger.
Nerves · Upper limbRadial nerveNervus radialisThe largest branch of the brachial plexus, running round the back of the humerus to supply the extensors of the arm and forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbSubclavian nerveNervus subclaviusA slender nerve from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus that runs down in front of the plexus to supply subclavius.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperficial branch of radial nerveRamus superficialis nervi radialisThe sensory terminal branch of the radial nerve, running under brachioradialis to the back of the wrist, hand and lateral fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperficial branch of ulnar nerveRamus superficialis nervi ulnarisThe terminal sensory branch of the ulnar nerve in the palm, supplying palmaris brevis and the skin of the little and ring fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior lateral brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis posterioris femorisThe cutaneous end of the posterior branch of the axillary nerve, supplying skin over the lower deltoid on the outer shoulder.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior subscapular nerveNervus subscapularis superiorA short branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that enters the upper part of the subscapularis muscle.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior trunk of brachial plexusTruncus superior plexus brachialisThe upper trunk of the brachial plexus, formed by the C5 and C6 ventral rami at the lateral edge of the scalene gap.
Nerves · Upper limbSuprascapular nerveNervus suprascapularisA nerve from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus that passes through the suprascapular notch to supply supraspinatus and infraspinatus.
Nerves · Upper limbThoracodorsal nerveNervus thoracodorsalisA nerve of the brachial plexus, from its posterior cord, that runs down the back wall of the axilla to supply latissimus dorsi.
