The brachial plexus is formed from the C5 to T1 nerve roots. The roots unite to form three trunks - upper, middle, and lower trunks. These trunks then divide into anterior and posterior divisions. The divisions then form three cords - medial, lateral, and posterior cords. Branches emerge from the cords to innervate muscles and skin of the upper limb. The document outlines the branches that emerge from the roots, trunks, cords, and their nerve supply territories.
