Bones of the upper limb

 1. Clavicle:
 - form the pectoral girdle with
scapula .
 - the first bone to being
ossification during the fetal life , but it is
the last one to complete ossification (21
y ).
 - is the only long bone to be
ossified intramembranously .
Bones of the upper limb
 2. Scapula :

- scapular notch : is bridged by

superior transverse scapular ligament ,
converted into a foramen that transmits
the suprascapular nerve .

 lie between greater and lesser
tubercal

 5. axillary lymph nodes .
Brachial plexus
 Formed by venteral primary rami of lower four
cervical nerves and the first thoracic nerve ( C5 -
T1).

 Originates in the neck , passes lateraly and

inferiorly over the first rib and inter the axilla .

 Has roots that pass between the scalenous

anterior and medius muscles .
Brachial plexus
 Is englosed ( with axillary artery and vein ) in
axillary sheath , which is formed by prolongation
of the prevertebral fascia .
 Has the following parts:
 1. Roots : are anterior rami of C1 to C8 and
T1.
 2. Trunk :
 i. superior trunk by union of C5 & C6
root.
 ii. middle trunk , continoution of C7.
 iii. inferior trunk by union of C8 & T1.
Brachial plexus
 3. Divisions : each trunk divided into anterior
and posterior division .
 4. Cords : originate from the divisions , and
related to the second part of the axillary artery .


 i. lateral cord : formed by unioin of anterior divisions of upper and

medile trunk .

 ii. medial cord ‘; formed by continuation of anterior division of inferior

trunk .

 iii . posterior cord : unioin of all 3 posterior divisions

Brachial plexus
Branches of brachial pluxes
 1)branchs from the root
 i. dorsal scapular nerve
[c5]
 ii. long thoracic nerve [c5
-c7]: which supply sarratus
anterior muscle .
Branches of brachial pluxes
 2) branchs from the upper trunk :
 i.suprascapular nerve [c5-c6]:
 pass through scapular notch under the
superior transvers scapular ligament
where as, the supra scapular artery pass
over the ligament supply supra and infra
supinatus muscles
 ii nerve to subclavius c5
Branches of brachial pluxes
 3) branches from the lateral cord:
 i. lateral pectoral nerve c 5-7.

 ii. musculcutanios nerve c5-7.

 iii.twig to the median nerve .

Branches of brachial pluxes
 4) branchs from medial cord
 i. medial pectoral nerve [c8-t1]
 ii. medial cutanius nerve of the arm [c8-t1]:
inervate skin of the medial site of the arm ,
comunicate with the intercostoprachial nerve
which arrive as lateral branch of 2end
intercosatal nerve [ carry the refered pain in MI
]
 iii. medial cutanious nerve of the forarm [c8-t1]
 iv. ulnar nerve [c7 -t1]
 v. twig to the median nerve
Branches of brachial pluxes
 5) branches from the posterior cord:
