Arteries of the Upper Limb In the Axilla. The axillary artery passes through the axilla, just underneath the pectoralis minor muscle, enclosed in the axillary sheath. At the level of the humeral surgical neck, the posterior and anterior circumflex humeral arteries arise. They circle posteriorly around the humerus to supply the shoulder region.

Nerves of the Shoulder Nerve problems around the shoulder are rare, but the most commonly affected of these nerves are: 1  Axillary Nerve - supplies the Deltoid muscle. Most commonly stretched with shoulder dislocations. 2  Long Thoracic Nerve - supplies Serratus Anterior muscle and can cause Winging of the Shoulder.

Shoulder Anatomy The main nerves that travel into the arm run through the axilla under the shoulder. Three main nerves begin together at the shoulder: the radial nerve, the ulnar nerve, and the median nerve. These nerves carry the signals from the brain to the muscles that move the arm. The nerves also carry signals back to the brain about sensations such as touch, pain, and temperature.

What Is An Interscalene Nerve Block? 1 Interscalene nerve blocks are well-suited for surgeries involving the shoulder, clavicle, or uppermost arm. 2  An interscalene nerve block is best performed by board-certified anesthesiologists who are familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the procedure. Informed consent should be signed and properly documented at a pre-operative appointment for the patient.

Brachial Neuritis (Parsonage-Turner Syndrome) After the nerve roots leave the cervical spine (in the neck), they combine to form the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that runs through the shoulder and down the arm. Inflammation of this network of sensitive nerves can cause sudden, severe pain. 1  See Cervical Spine Anatomy and Neck Pain.

Nerves and Blood Vessels Nerves and Blood Vessels. Nerves innervate muscles and skin. The nerves of the leg all originate from the lumbar plexus and sacral plexus. This group includes the sciatic nerve, femoral nerve, obturator nerve, tibial nerve and common fibular nerve (which splits into the superficial fibular nerve and deep fibular nerve).

- Long Thoracic Nerve. Injury to the long thoracic nerve occurs acutely from a blow to the shoulder, or with activities that involve chronic repetitive traction on the nerve (e.g., tennis, swimming, baseball). Presenting symptoms include diffuse shoulder or neck pain that worsens with overhead activities.

- The syndrome can compress the subclavian artery or the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is the collection of sensory and motor nerves that innervate the hand, arm, and the shoulder girdle whereas the subclavian vein and artery supply blood to the area. Thoracic outlet syndrome can be static or positional.

- The median nerve travels through a compartment in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. The ligaments that traverse the nerve are not very flexible. Any swelling within the wrist compartment can put excessive pressure on structures such as the blood vessels and the median nerve.

Nerves of the Arm and Hand Also running along the posterior of the arm, the radial nerve provides nerve signals to the triceps brachii muscle that extends the forearm and the skin of the posterior arm. The musculocutaneous nerve innervates the flexor muscles of the arm, including the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles.

- Sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nerves travel along arteries and nerves and are found in the adventitia (eg, outer wall) of blood vessels. Varicosities, which are small enlargements along the nerve fibers, are the site of neurotransmitter release.Sympathetic efferent nerves are present throughout the atria, ventricles (including the conduction system), and myocytes in the heart and also the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes.aricosities, which are small enlargements along the nerve fibers, are the site of neurotransmitter release.

Brachial Plexus Injury Brachial Plexus Injury. The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that come from the spinal cord in the neck and travel down the arm (see Figure 1). These nerves control the muscles of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, as well as provide feeling in the arm. Some brachial plexus injuries are minor and will completely recover in several weeks.

Subclavius muscle The brachial plexus and both the subclavian artery and vein pass under the subclavius muscle. Due to its location and relatively small size the muscle is hardly palpable. The innervation is carried by the subclavian nerve (C5-6), a branch of the brachial plexus.

Nerves and Vessels In Depth: Nerves and Vessels. The shoulder plays a key role in the blood flow to the arms. The armpit and shoulder serve as the meeting place for the torso and arms, so major vessels close to the heart travel through these areas.

Subscapularis The subscapularis muscle is innervated by the lower and upper subscapular nerves. The subscapularis muscle is the most-used muscle in the shoulder. It is the primary muscle used in pitching, hitting, swimming, and all racquet sports. As a result, injuries to the shoulder muscle are common among athletes.

Thoracic outlet syndrome Article Excerpts about Thoracic outlet syndrome. Thoracic outlet syndrome consists of symptoms caused by compression of the nerves in the brachial plexus (nerves that pass into the arms from the neck) or blood vessels. Patients may have pain in the shoulder, arm, or hand, or in all three locations. The hand pain is often most severe in the fourth and fifth fingers.

Nerves and Vessels The armpit and shoulder serve as the meeting place for the torso and arms, so major vessels close to the heart travel through these areas. Oxygenated blood enters the shoulder area through the subclavian artery below the collarbone. This same vessel evolves into the axillary artery in the armpit region.

Brachial Plexus Anatomy The nerve to the subclavius muscle is a small filament that arises from the upper trunk. It descends to the subclavius muscle in front of the subclavian artery and the lower trunk of the plexus. The suprascapular nerve arises from the upper trunk formed by the union of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves.

- Relationship of internal jugular vein to the spinal accessory nerve (SAN). Spinal accessory nerve (SAN) posterior to the internal jugular vein. As the nerve approaches the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), it may perforate the cleidomastoid portion of the SCM (80%) or run posterior to it (20%).

A and Pi Chapter 15 Identify the areas supply by the individual nerves emerging from the cervical plexus. Muscles and skin of the neck, upper shoulders, and parts of the head are supply by nerves emerging from the cervical plexus. The phrenic nerve also exits at this plexus, and it innervates the diaphragm.
