The medial cutaneous branches of the posterior divisions of the thoracic nerves descend for some distance close to the spinous processes before reaching the skin, while the lateral branches travel downward for a considerable distance—it may be as much as the breadth of four ribs—before they become superficial; the branch from the twelfth thoracic, for instance, reaches the skin only a ...
The medial cord is the part of the brachial plexus formed by of the anterior division of the lower trunk (C8-T1). [1] Its name comes from it being medial to the axillary artery as it passes through the axilla. The other cords of the brachial plexus are the posterior cord and lateral cord.
The medial pectoral nerve usually arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus; it can however occasionally arise directly from the anterior division of the inferior trunk of the brachial plexus. [1] [2] It is derived from the eighth cervical (C8) and first thoracic (T1) spinal nerve roots. [1] The origin is situated posterior to the ...
Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm - Near blue "axillary" area, but actually branches from radial nerve. Most modern sources distinguish the superior and inferior, but some still include a single "lateral brachial cutaneous nerve". ) Intercostobrachial nerve (brown) Medial cutaneous nerve of arm (yellow) - labeled as "medial brachial ...

The medial branches (ramus medialis) of the posterior branches of the upper six thoracic nerves run between the semispinalis dorsi and multifidus, which they supply; they then pierce the rhomboid and trapezius muscles, and reach the skin by the sides of the spinous processes. This sensitive branch is called the medial cutaneous ramus.
The long thoracic nerve arises from the anterior rami of cervical spinal nerves C5, C6, and C7. [1] [2] [3] The root from C7 may occasionally be absent. [4] The roots from C5 and C6 pierce through the scalenus medius, while the C7 root passes in front of the muscle. [citation needed]
