lateral pectoral nerve
Definition

[image]

Lateral Pectoral Nerve

goes around pectoralis minor to innervate deep side of pectoralis major;

arises from lateral cord of brachial plexus

Term
medial pectoral nerve

nerve branches located in superficial fascia near styloid process of the ulna
Term
4 regions of fascia
Definition
brachial fascia
antebrachial fascia
palmar fscia
