Brachial Plexus Structure and Study Tips
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that supplies the upper limb. It forms from the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5 to T1 and then divides into roots, trunks, divisions, cords and terminal branches. Learning this order makes it easier to predict which injuries cause which deficits.
- Roots: ventral rami of C5 to T1 leaving the spinal column
- Trunks: upper, middle and lower, formed by joining the roots
- Divisions: anterior and posterior division of each trunk
- Cords: lateral, medial and posterior, named by their position around the axillary artery
- Terminal branches: musculocutaneous, median, ulnar, axillary and radial nerves
Use the map to revise the sequence from roots to terminal branches, then test yourself with a quiz. CogniGuide can create a personalized map from your own anatomy notes.
Brachial Plexus Mind Map Questions
Answers about the brachial plexus and how to make your own map.
Which spinal nerves form the brachial plexus?
The brachial plexus is formed mainly by the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1. Some people also receive contributions from C4 or T2, which is known as prefixed or postfixed anatomy.
What are the cords of the brachial plexus named after?
The three cords are lateral, posterior and medial. They are named by their position relative to the second part of the axillary artery, which they surround.
Which file types can I use to make my own brachial plexus map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) file, PowerPoint (PPTX) slides, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my brachial plexus map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test your recall of roots, cords and branches. The free plan allows 5 creations a week.
