ROOTS OF BRACHIAL PLEXUS

 C5 TO C8 & T1
 TRUN
KS
 UPPER TRUNK
Is formed by comination of C5 and C6

 MIDDLE TRUNK Is formed by C7

 LOWER TRUNK Is formed by C8 & T1
 DIVISION
S
Every trunk is divided into ventral and dorsal division
 CORD

LATERAL TRUNK is formed by anterior division of upper and cords middle

POSTERIOR TRUNK is formed by posterior of all three

LATERAL CORD is fprmed by anterior division of lower cord

MINOR BRANCHES OF BRACIAL
PLEXUS
ROOT MEDIAL CORD
 Medial pectoral nerve
S  Dorsal scapula nerve
 Long thoracic nerve
 Medial pectoral nerve or arm
 Medial pectoral nerve of forearm

TRUNKS PECTORAL CORD

 Subscapular nerve  Superior subscapular nerve
 Nerve to subclavius  Thoraco dorsal nerve
 Inferior subscapular nerve

LATERAL CORD
 Lateral pectoral nerve
 BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE BRACHIAL
 The blod PLEXUS
supply of the brachial plexus is based largely on the subclavian (Which becomes axillary ) artery
and its branches variation exist.
 Generally,the vessels involved are the vertebral,the ascending and deep cervical,aand the superior intercostal
arteries.

THE CORD AND THE

ROOTS
 Supplied by the anterior and posterior
spinal branches of the vertebral artery.
TRUNK
 Supplied by muscular branches of the
ascending and deep cervical arteries and
superior Intercostals,and ocassionally by the
subclavian itself
