The nerve lies at first behind the axillary artery, [4] and in front of the subscapularis, [1] and passes downward to the lower border of that muscle.. It then winds from anterior to posterior around the neck of the humerus, in company with the posterior humeral circumflex artery, [2] through the quadrangular space (bounded above by the teres minor, below by the teres major, medially by the ...
Outline of human anatomy; Cell types. by origin; The following is a list of nerves in the human body: ... Auriculotemporal nerve; Axillary nerve; Brachial plexus;
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 following diagram is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the human nervous system: Human nervous system. Human nervous system – the part of the human body that coordinates a person's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of the body.
The quadrangular space is a clinically important anatomic space in the arm as it provides the anterior regions of the axilla a passageway to the posterior regions. In the quadrangular space, the axillary nerve and the posterior humeral circumflex artery can be compressed or damaged due to space-occupying lesions or disruption in the anatomy due to trauma.
It is located on the posterior wall of pelvic cavity (pelvis minor). Nervi of the plexus innervate the perineal region, buttocks and the lower limb. The largest nerve of the human body, the sciatic nerve, is the main branch that gives rami to the motor innervation of the muscles of the thigh, the leg, and the foot. Common peroneal nerve and its ...
The triangular space (also known as the medial triangular space, [1] upper triangular space, [2] medial axillary space or foramen omotricipitale [3]) is one of the three spaces found at the axillary space. The other two spaces are the quadrangular space and the triangular interval. [4]
These neuromuscular segments are supplied by smaller branches of the axillary nerve, and work in coordination with other muscles of the shoulder girdle include pectoralis major and supraspinatus. [10] The axillary nerve is sometimes damaged during surgical procedures of the axilla, such as for breast cancer. It may also be injured by anterior ...
