Brachial Plexus and Termination -----------------------------END--------------------------- Flashcards
innervates the triceps brachii and the extensor muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm
radial nerve
innervates the deltoid, teres minor and the long head of the triceps brachii (anatomical variation from person to person)
axillary nerve
innervates most of the flexor muscles in the forearm, the thenar muscles, and the two lateral lumbrical muscles
median nerve
innervates anterior compartment of arm
musculocutaneous nerve
innervates the muscles of the hand (apart from the thenar muscles and two lateral lumbricals) + 1.5 anteromedial forearm muscles
