Where is the plexus Brachialis located?

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves in the shoulder that carries movement and sensory signals from the spinal cord to the arms and hands. Brachial plexus injuries typically stem from trauma to the neck, and can cause pain, weakness and numbness in the arm and hand.

What muscles are innervated by radial N?

The radial nerve and its branches provide innervation the following muscles (See Structure and Function for specific nerve branch innervations and muscle actions)[7]:

• Abductor pollicis longus.
• Anconeus.
• Brachioradialis.
• Extensor carpi radialis brevis.
• Extensor carpi radialis longus.
• Extensor carpi ulnaris.

What muscles are innervated by the nerves of the brachial plexus?

Specific Branches

What are the 5 terminal nerves of the brachial plexus?

The 5 terminal branches of the brachial plexus are the musculocutaneous, median, ulnar, axillary, and radial nerves.

What does the ulnar nerve innervate?

The ulnar nerve innervates the flexor muscles of the forearm including the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus. It also innervates the intrinsic muscles of the hand including the palmaris brevis, lumbricals, hypothenar and interossei muscles.

What nerve Innervates the brachialis?

The dissections revealed that all brachialis muscles received innervation from the musculocutaneous nerve and that 81.6% were also innervated by a branch from the radial nerve.

What is a Brachialis muscle?

Structure and Function. The brachialis is an elbow flexor that originates from the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the ulnar tuberosity. The brachialis is one of the largest elbow flexors and provides pure flexion of the forearm at the elbow.

Which of the following muscles is innervated by the ulnar nerve?

What are the 6 divisions of the brachial plexus?
