- 3. Spinal Nerves 31 pairs of spinal nerves are attached to the spinal cord. 8 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 1 coccygeal Each spinal nerve divides into a dorsal and ventral ramus. 3Cleyson Mupfiga HUB117 2011
- 4. Brachial Plexus The brachial plexus is a network of nerves formed by the union of the anterior rami (branches) of C5 – C8 & T1 spinal nerves. It originates in the neck, passes laterally & inferiorly over the first rib & enters the axilla (arm pit). All major nerves of the upper limb originate from parts of the brachial plexus. Divided into ROOTS, TRUNKS, DIVISIONS, and CORDS. BRANCHES emerge to supply the upper limb. 4Cleyson Mupfiga HUB117 2011

- Provides the following important functions: (1) sensory innervation to the skin & deep structures; (2) motor innervation to muscles; (3) influence over diameter of blood vessels by sympatetic vasomotor nerves; (4) sympathetic secretomotor supply to the sweat glands.
