brachial plexus
- Discussion:
- subscapular and thoracodorsal nerves arise from
posterior cord of
brachial plexus
while this is on costal surface of
subscapularis;
- both subscapular nerves usually receive fibers from
C5 and
C6;
- upper subscapular nerve passes directly into the upper part of
subscapularis muscle;
- lower subscapular nerve divides into 2 branches;
- one enters the lower part of the
subscapularis muscle and the other continues to
teres major;
