- 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
