Anatomy

Upper Limb

Question 140 of 239

An 18 year old man presents to the ED following a street robbery. He has received a single stab wound to the right axilla. On examination of the upper limb you note an area of decreased sensation that leads you to believe he may have sustained a musculocutaneous nerve injury. The musculocutaneous nerve supplies which of the following areas of skin:

Answer:

The musculocutaneous nerve gives rise to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm, which supplies the skin on the lateral surface of the forearm.

Musculocutaneous Nerve

Anatomy / Upper Limb / Anterior Arm / Innervation of Upper Limb

Last Updated: 8th April 2019

The musculocutaneous nerve originates from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus, receiving fibres from C5 - C7.

Table: Anatomical Overview of the Musculocutaneous Nerve

Nerve Musculocutaneous
Nerve roots C5 – C7
Plexus cords Lateral
Motor Supply Anterior compartment of arm (coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, brachialis)
Sensory supply Lateral forearm (via the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm)

Anatomical Course

Function

It innervates all of the muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm (the coracobrachialis, the biceps brachii and the brachialis muscles) and gives rise to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm, which supplies the skin on the lateral surface of the forearm.
