Describe the structure and function of the brachial plexus.

Answer 1

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves between the spine and the should. It consists of nerves from the lower cervical nerves C5-C8 and the first thoracic nerve and supplies nerve fibres to the chest, shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.

Answer 2

I don't know how much detail of the Brachial Plexus you have been taught, but I will give a general idea and then let me know if there is anything specific about it you would like to know.

Plexus is a network of nerves that extend from the Cervical spine cord (both sides) through a canal in the neck running over the first rib and towards the upper arm. It provides nerve fibers to the chest, shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand for both sensation and muscle movement.

Please let me know if you need help with specifics because I am happy to answer them here.
