    This document lists the spinal nerves and muscles involved in movement for the upper and lower extremities. In the upper extremities, muscles like the deltoid, biceps, and triceps are innervated by nerves like the axillary, musculocutaneous, and radial to enable movements like shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, and elbow extension. In the lower extremities, muscles like the iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, and quadriceps femoris are innervated by nerves like the femoral to allow for movements such as hip flexion, hip extension, and knee extension. The radial nerve provides innervation to extensor muscles in the forearm, wrist, fingers, and
