The lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm (or lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve) is a sensory nerve representing the continuation of the musculocutaneous nerve beyond the lateral edge of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. The lateral cutaneous nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the lateral forearm.
The superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (or superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve) is the continuation of the posterior branch of the axillary nerve, after it pierces the deep fascia. It contains axons from C5-C6 ventral rami.
superficial boundary (roof) – skin, superficial fascia containing the median cubital vein, the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm and the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, deep fascia reinforced by the bicipital aponeurosis (a sheet of tendon-like material that arises from the tendon of the biceps brachii)
It provides sensory innervation to the lateral forearm (via its terminal branch). [3] It courses through the anterior part of the arm, terminating 2 cm above elbow; [citation needed] after passing the lateral edge of the tendon of biceps brachii it is becomes known as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. [3]
It pierces the palmar carpal ligament, and divides into a lateral and a medial branch; The lateral branch supplies the skin over the ball of the thumb, and communicates with the volar branch of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve. The medial branch supplies the skin of the palm and communicates with the palmar cutaneous branch of the ulnar.
The inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm is a nerve found in humans and other animals. It is also called the inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve. It is a branch of the radial nerve that provides sensory and vasomotor innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm. [1]
The lower branch pierces the deep fascia below the insertion of the deltoideus, and descends along the lateral side of the arm and elbow, and then along the back of the forearm to the wrist, supplying the skin in its course, and joining, near its termination, with the dorsal branch of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve.
The other cords of the brachial plexus are the posterior cord and lateral cord. The medial cord gives rise to the following nerves from proximal to distal: medial pectoral nerve (C8-T1) medial brachial cutaneous nerve (T1) medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (C8-T1) medial head of median nerve (C8-T1) [other part of median nerve comes from ...
