Nerve Shoulder Cutaneous Lateral Inferior

The lateral lower cutaneous nerve of the shoulder (lat. n. cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior) is one of the branches of the brachial plexus. It arises from the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm and innervates the skin of the lower third of the outer surface of the shoulder.

This nerve is sensitive and innervates the skin on the outer surface of the shoulder. The cutaneous lateral inferior brachial nerve is responsible for sensation in the region of the lower third of the outer surface of the shoulder. Damage to this nerve can lead to sensory disturbances in this area.



What is a brachial nerve?

**The brachial nerve** is one of the large nerve trunks, which is a branch of the brachial plexus. It innervates most of the muscles of the upper limb from the elbow to the shoulder joint. It is from this nerve that the muscles that carry out arm movements originate. They also participate in the formation of joints of the elbow, forearm, and shoulder.

What are the functions of the brachial nerve? It performs several important functions, the most important of which are: - Responsible for muscle tone. - Provides gripping strength to the ulna (lateral) and scapula. - Helps maintain
