thenor muscles of the hand

levator scapula

median nerve (elbow and wrist)
Innervates all of the flexors in the forearm except flexor carpi ulnaris and that part of flexor digitorum profundus that supplies the 4th and 5th digits

coracoacromial ligament

rhomboids

interossie - dorsal
- abduction away from middle finger
