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 scapula. In addition to muscular innervation‚ these nerves also innervate most of the cutaneous membrane of the upper limb (with the exception of the axilla‚ a point on the superior portion of the shoulder‚ and the dorsal scapular area). The nerves of the brachial plexus originate from each side of the five most inferior cervical vertebrae (C4 – C8)

they are due to a blocking of the inhibition to the neurons that supply muscles. Contents [hide] 1 Mechanism 2 Causes 3 Diagnosis 4 References 5 External links [edit]Mechanism Low plasma calcium increases the permeability of neuronal membranes to sodium ions‚ causing a progressive depolarization. This increases the ease with which action potentials can be initiated. If the plasma Ca2+ decreases to less than 50% of the normal value of 9.4mg/dl; action potentials may be spontaneously generated
