A manual of examinations : upon anatomy, physiology, surgery, practice of medicine, chemistry, obstetrics, materia medica, pharmacy and therapeutics, especially designed for students of medicine, to which is added a medical formulary . us,and teres minor. Where do the thoracic nerves arise ?—There are three in number, and arise fromthe upper part of the plexus. How are they distributed? — To thepectoralis major and minor, serratus majoranticus, and latissimus dorsi. What is the course and distribution ofthe musculo-cutaneous nerve ? — It passesthrough the substance of the coraco bra-chialis, then between the biceps and bra-chialis; to these it gives branches, and isdistributed to the skin at the outer partof the forearm and back of the hand. What is the course and distribution ofthe median nerve? (Fig. 101.) — It isthe largest nerve from the axillary plexus;and accompanies the brachial artery: inthe forearm it passes deep-seated, betweenthe flexor sublimis and profundus, underthe ligamentum annulare carpi, to thepalm of the hand, where it divides intobranches, viz. : two to the thumb, two to the fore-finger, two to themiddle finger, and one to the ring finger, after communicating with abranch of the 184 ANATOMY. Wliat is the course and distribution of the ulnar nerve ?^ — Itdescends along the inner part of the arm, passes in a groove betweenthe inner condyle of the humerus and the olecranon, perforates theflexor carpi ulnaris, descends over the ligamentum annulare carpi tothe palm of the hand, where it sends off one branch to the ring finger,two to the little finger, and a branch of communication to the mediannerve. What is the course and distribution of the internal cutaneousnerve ? — It is the smallest of the brachial nerves ; it passes superfi-cially along the inside of the arm, and is distributed to the integu-ments at the inner and forepart of the forearm. What is the course and distribution of the radial nerve ? ^ —It runsbackward round
