Nerves · Upper limbAnterior branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveRamus anterior nervi cutanei medialis antebrachiiThe larger of the two terminal branches of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, supplying skin on the front of the inner forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbAnterior division of inferior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci inferioris plexus brachialisThe front branch of the lowest trunk of the brachial plexus, which passes behind the clavicle and continues as the medial cord.
Nerves · Upper limbAnterior division of middle trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci medii plexus brachialisThe front branch of the middle trunk of the brachial plexus, which unites behind the clavicle with the superior trunk's front branch to make the lateral cord.
Nerves · Upper limbAnterior division of superior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci superioris plexus brachialisThe front branch of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, which merges behind the clavicle with the middle trunk's front branch to form the lateral cord.
Nerves · Upper limbAnterior interosseous nerve of forearmNervus interosseus anterior antebrachiiA deep, mainly motor offshoot of the median nerve, running on the interosseous membrane to the deep flexors and pronator quadratus.
Nerves · Upper limbAxillary nerveNervus axillarisA branch of the posterior cord that winds round the humerus at its surgical neck to supply deltoid, teres minor and the skin over the shoulder.
Nerves · Upper limbCommon palmar digital branches of median nerveRami digitales palmares communes nervi medianiBranches of the median nerve in the palm that run towards the finger clefts and split into the digital nerves of the radial fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbCommon palmar digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales palmares communes nervi ulnarisThe palmar branch of the ulnar nerve's superficial division that heads for the web between ring and little fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbDeep branch of radial nerveRamus profundus nervi radialisThe motor branch of the radial nerve at the elbow, which winds through supinator to supply the extensor muscles of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbDeep branch of ulnar nerveRamus profundus nervi ulnarisThe motor terminal branch of the ulnar nerve in the hand, curving across the deep palm to supply most of the small hand muscles.
Nerves · Upper limbDorsal branch of ulnar nerveRamus dorsalis nervi ulnarisA cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that leaves it above the wrist to supply the skin over the medial dorsum of the hand.
Nerves · Upper limbDorsal digital branches of radial nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi radialisThe terminal cutaneous branches of the superficial radial nerve on the back of the thumb and the lateral fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbDorsal digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi ulnarisThe terminal branches of the ulnar nerve's dorsal branch, supplying skin on the back of the ring and little fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbInferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis inferior brachiiA cutaneous branch of the radial nerve that supplies the skin on the lower lateral side of the arm, above the elbow.
Nerves · Upper limbInferior subscapular nerveNervus subscapularis inferiorA branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that supplies the lower part of subscapularis and the teres major muscle.
Nerves · Upper limbInferior trunk of brachial plexusTruncus inferior plexus brachialisThe lowest of the three trunks of the brachial plexus, formed by the C8 and T1 roots just above the first rib.
Nerves · Upper limbLateral antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis antebrachiiThe sensory end of the musculocutaneous nerve, supplying skin along the lateral, or thumb, side of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbLateral pectoral nerveNervus pectoralis lateralisA motor nerve from the brachial plexus's lateral cord that pierces the clavipectoral fascia to supply pectoralis major.
Nerves · Upper limbMedial antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis antebrachiiA sensory nerve from the plexus's medial cord that supplies skin over the front and inner side of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbMedial brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis brachiiA small sensory branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus that supplies skin on the inner side of the arm.
Nerves · Upper limbMedial pectoral nerveNervus pectoralis medialisA branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus that pierces pectoralis minor to supply it and the lower part of pectoralis major.
Nerves · Upper limbMedian nerveNervus medianusA major nerve of the upper limb, formed by roots from two plexus cords, that reaches the hand by the carpal tunnel.
Nerves · Upper limbMiddle trunk of brachial plexusTruncus medius plexus brachialisThe middle trunk of the brachial plexus, the direct continuation of the C7 ventral ramus between the scalene muscles.
Nerves · Upper limbMuscular branches of axillary nerveRami musculares nervi axillarisThe motor branches of the axillary nerve, given behind the surgical neck of the humerus to the deltoid and teres minor.
