Radial nerve course

The radial nerve travels from the brachial plexus, passing posteriorly through the arm, winding
around the humerus in the radial groove. It then divides into a deep branch (posterior
interosseous nerve) and a superficial branch near the elbow. The deep branch innervates the
extensor muscles of the forearm, while the superficial branch provides sensory innervation to
the dorsum of the h
and

Ulnar nerve course


The ulnar nerve travels from the brachial plexus, through the medial aspect of the arm, passes
behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus (forming the "funny bone"), and enters the
forearm. It innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial half of the flexor digitorum
profundus. In the hand, it supplies the hypothenar muscles, the medial two lumbricals, the
interossei, and the adductor pollicis.

Median nerve course


The median nerve arises from the medial and lateral cords of the brachial plexus, with roots
from C5 to T1. It travels down the arm, through the cubital fossa, and enters the forearm
between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle. It then continues down the forearm,
passing through the carpal tunnel to reach the hand.
