The brachial plexus is a network of spinal nerves. Spinal nerves carry information from peripheral sensory receptors to the spinal cord (of the central nervous system)‚ and then carry information back from the central nervous system to effector muscles and glands. The brachial plexus carries out these functions in the pectoral girdle and upper limbs. Specifically‚ nerves of the brachial plexus aid in innervation of the muscles of the upper limbs (with the exception of the trapezius and the levator
