Brachial Plexus Anatomy

Formed Irom C5 to T1 Roots

Roots unite to Iorm Trunks Upper , Middle and Lower trunks ( From the anterior border oI
Scalene anterior)
Three trunks divide into 3 anterior and 3 posterior divisions ( From the lateral border oI 1st Rib)
anterior divisions oI the upper, middle, and lower trunks
posterior divisions oI the upper, middle, and lower trunks
In relation with the 1st part oI Axillary artery Iorm 3 Cords The Medial, Lateral and Posterior
Cords
Branches emerge Irom the Cords
