What are the roots of the musculocutaneous nerve?
C5, C6 and C7
What are the roots of the axillary nerve?
C5 and C6
What are the roots of the radial nerve?
C5, C6, C7, C8, T1
What are the roots of the median nerve?
C5, C6, C7, C8, T1
What are the roots of the ulnar nerve?

What is the function of the musculocutaneous nerve?
Supplies the anterior arm - motor to biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, brachialis.
What is the function of the axillary nerve?
Motor to the teres minor and deltoid.
Sensory to the shoulder (deltoid badge).
What does the teres minor do?
A rotator cuff muscle, the teres minor stabilizes the ball-and-socket glenohumeral joint.
Laterally rotates the arm.
What is the function of the radial nerve?
Motor the posterior arm (tricep extensors), posterior forearm extensors - radial nerve opens the fist.
Sensory innervation to the arm, forearm and hand.
Sensory innervation to the posterior forearm and hand.
What is the function of the median nerve?
Sensory function to the lateral hand.
Supplies motor function to the anterior forearm and hand - pronators and flexors.
Thenar muscles.
What are the two common landmarks where lesions and compression to the median nerve may occur?
Cubital fossa and the carpal tunnel.
What are the two common landmarks where lesions and compression to the radial nerve may occur?
Radial groove on the humerus and the lower triangular space.
What is the function of the ulnar nerve?
Sensory to the medial hand.
Motor to the anterior forearm and hand - flexion and thumb adduction.
Hypothenar muscles
