The musculo-cutaneous nerve gives off :— {a) The nerve to the diaphysis of the humerus, amotor nerve containing also a few sensory fibres ^ forthe periosteum and for the bony substance of thehumerus. It accompanies the vessels of the diaphysisand enters the nutrient foramen of the bone. Thefilaments are lost in the compact tissue and in themarrow of the bone.
