35
Q

What is the course of the musculocutaneous nerve?

A

It enters the arm by perforating the coracobrachialis, descending distally between the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. After crossing the elbow joint it gives off its terminal branch to supply the skin as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm.
