brachial nerve plexus
An arrangement of nerve fibers, running from the spine where it proceeds through the neck then the axilla and into the arm where it innervates skin and muscle. [WP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the brachial nerve plexus is
An arrangement of nerve fibers, running from the spine where it proceeds through the neck then the axilla and into the arm where it innervates skin and muscle. [WP,modified]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the brachial nerve plexus is
It sits within the nervous system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the brachial nerve plexus connects to
The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of nervous system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the brachial nerve plexus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as brachial plexus and plexus brachialis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the brachial nerve plexus?
It sits within the nervous system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What does the brachial nerve plexus connect to?
Part of: nervous system.
Is the brachial nerve plexus the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
