This document summarizes the major nerves of the upper limb that originate from the brachial plexus. It describes the anatomy and branches of each nerve as well as the clinical implications of injuries. The five main nerves discussed are:
1. Axillary nerve - supplies the deltoid and teres minor muscles and a cutaneous branch. Injury can cause shoulder paralysis.
2. Musculocutaneous nerve - innervates the coracobrachialis, biceps, and brachialis muscles and cutaneous branches to the forearm.
3. Radial nerve - has numerous muscular and cutaneous branches and injury can cause wrist drop.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Brachial Plexus
Networking of spinal nerves, formed by ventral
(anterior rami) of cervical spinal nerves C5-C8 and
thoracic spinal nerves T1.
Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous (sensory)
and muscular (motor) innervation of the entire upper
limb.
3. 5 main nerves arise from brachial plexus:
1. Axillary nerve
2. Musculocutaneous nerve
3. Radial nerve
4. Median nerve
5. Ulnar nerve
Brachial Plexus
5. Axillary Nerve
From root C5-C6
Arise from posterior cord of brachial plexus at the
level of axilla.
6.
7. Branches of Axillary Nerves
Lies posterior to the axillary artery and anterior to the
subscapularis muscles.
Then axillary nerves will divide into anterior branch
(upper branch) and posterior branch (lower branch).
Anterior branch innervate anterior border of deltoid
muscles (anterior and lateral fiber)
Posterior branch supply teres minor and posterior part
of the deltoid (posterior fiber). Then it will branch of to
formed superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm
(superior lateral brachial cutaneous).
8. Innervations of Axillary Nerve
Muscular innervations
- anterior branch – anterior and lateral fiber of deltoid
muscles
- posterior branch – teres minor and posterior fiber of
deltoid
Cutaneous innervation
- superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve
- carry information from the shoulder joint
- skin covering inferior region of deltoid muscles.
9. Cont..
Frequently injured due to
shoulder dislocation because
of the close to the proximity
of this joint
Paralysis of the deltoid and
teres minor results
Inability to abduct the arm
beyond that possible by the
action of the supraspinatus.
10.
11.
12. Musculocutaneous Nerve
Arise from lateral cord of
brachial plexus
Opposite to the lower border
of pectoralis minor
Arise from root C5, C6 and
C7.
13. Penetrate coracobrachialis and
pass obliquely between biceps
brachii and the brachialis to the
lateral side of the arm.
Then continue in the forearm as
the lateral antebrachial
cutaneous nerve.
Musculocutaneous Nerve
14. Innervation of
Musculocutaneous Nerve
Muscular innervation
Supply coracobrachialis, biceps brachii and brachialis
Cutaneous innervation.
Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve divide into
anterior and posterior branch.
Anterior branch – skin of anterolateral surface of
forearm as far as ball of the thumb
Posterior branch – skin of posterolateral surface of
forearm.
15. Radial Nerve
Arise from posterior cord
of brachial plexus
Arise from root C5, C6,
C7, C8 & T1.
16. It goes descending obliquely through the arm, first in
the posterior compartment of the arm, and later in
the anterior compartment of the arm, and continues
in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
The radial nerve enter the arm behind the axillary
artery and then travel posteriorly on the medial side
of the arm.
Radial Nerve
17. Then radial nerve will innervate triceps brachii.
Radial nerve then enter the radial groove.
Radial nerve emerge from radial groove and enter the
anterior compartment of the arm.
It continue the journey between brachialis and
brachioradialis.
When the radial nerve reaches the distal part of the
humerus, it passes anterior to the lateral epicondyle and
continue to the forearm.
Radial Nerve
18. In the forearm, it will branch of to superficial branch
(mainly sensory) and deep branch (mainly motor).
Cutaneous innervation is provided by nerve that arise
from radial nerve.
Posterior brachial cutaneous nerve
Inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve
Posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve
Superficial branch of radial nerve
Radial Nerve
19. Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm (posterior brachial
cutaneous) - provides sensory innervations for much of
the skin on the back of the arm.
Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (inferior lateral
brachial cutaneous) - provides sensory and vasomotor
innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm.
Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm (posterior
antebrachial cutaneous).-skin of the posterior of the
forearm
Superficial branch – back of the hand
Radial Nerve
22. Cont…
The radial nerve is often injured in its course close to
the humerus, either from fracture or pressure from
direct blow to the humerus (incorrect use of a crutch)
Triceps usually escapes because derivation of the
nerve giving off high in arm, but total paralysis of the
extensor of the wrist and digits leads to the dropped
wrist deformities.
25. Posterior interosseous nerve compression in the
proximal forearm
The PIN arises from the bifurcation of the radial nerve in the proximal
forearm. The PIN is a motor-only nerve that innervates the extensor
muscles and abductor pollicis longus distal to the elbow. The PIN
does not innervate the ECRL, brachioradiais, or anconeus muscles;
these muscles instead receive their innervation from the radial nerve
proximally. Immediately distal to the bifurcation, the PIN travels
through the radial tunnel, a 5-cm space defined by the capsule of the
radiocapitellar joint dorsally, the ECRL and extensor carpi radialis
brevis (ECRB) muscles laterally, the biceps tendon and brachialis
muscles medially, and the brachioradialis volarly.
Within the area of the radial tunnel there are five potential sites of
compression: (1) fibrous bands to the radiocapitellar joint between the
brachialis and brachioradialis; (2) the recurrent radial vessels, or so-
called leash of Henry; (3) the proximal edge of the ECRB; (4) the
proximal edge of the supinator, or so-called arcade of Fröhse; and (5)
the distal edge of the supinator. The arcade of Fröhse is felt to be the
most common site of PIN compression. Compression of the PIN gives
rise to two different compression syndromes, PIN and radial tunnel
syndromes. The management of these two syndromes is identical.
26. Anterior approach to the posterior interosseous nerve. This provides good exposure of the radial
tunnel when the point of compression cannot be localized to the arcade of Frohse. The zigzag
incision provides a wider exposure, but may be less cosmetically acceptable to the patient.
27. Posterior interosseous nerve compression
in the proximal forearm
Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome
Patients with PIN syndrome present with loss of
finger and thumb extension, most often due to
compression of the PIN at the arcade of Fröhse.135
Wrist extension is preserved, albeit with radial
deviation, as innervation to the ECRL is unaffected.
Radial tunnel syndrome
Like PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome results
from compression of the PIN. In contrast to patients
with PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome patients
complain of lateral proximal forearm pain with no
28. Superficial radial nerve compression
(Wartenberg’s syndrome)
The fascia between the brachioradialis and ECRL is
divided and the superficial radial nerve freed from its
bed.
29. Anatomy of the superficial sensory branch
of the radial nerve.
30. Ulnar Nerve
Arise from medial cord
of brachial plexus
Root C8 and T1 (mostly
C7)
Descend on the
posteromedial of the
humerus.
Then it goes posterior to
the medial epicondyle.
31. Enter anterior compartment muscles of forearm and
supplies flexor carpi ulnaris and medial half flexor
digitorum profundus.
Then ulnar nerve enter palm of the hand and branch off
to the superficial branch and deep branch.
Deep branch innervate hypothenar muscles,
intermediate hand muscles and thenar hand muscles
(adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis (rare))
Ulnar Nerve
32. Superficial branches of Ulnar nerve will innervate
palmaris brevis and skin anterior and posterior of the
hand (medial aspect of the hand/ one an half digits)
Ulnar Nerve
36. Cont…
Ulnar nerve may be damaged in the groove behind
the medial epicondyle either by trauma or
entrapment.
Leads to partial or completely lost of muscular and
sensory innervations.
The results of the ulnar nerve lesion leads to the
typical ‘claw hand’ deformities.
Due to lost of the power in the intrinsic hand muscles
and unopposed actions of antagonistic muscles group.
Wasting of hypothenar eminence.
There are ‘guttering between metacarpals, inability to
abduct the fingers or adduct the thumb.
41. Median Nerve
Arise from lateral root of lateral cord (C5,6,7) and
medial root and medial cord (C8,T1) of brachial
plexus.
Passes down the midline of the arm in close
association with the brachial artery.
Passes in front of elbow joint (cubital fossa) then
down to supply the muscles of the anterior of
forearm.
Then it continue into the hand through carpal
tunnel where it supply intrinsic hand muscles and
42. At the cubital fossa the anterior interosseous nerve
arises from the median nerve
Descend through the forearm and end at the wrist by
giving the articular branch to the radiocarpal and
intercarpal joint.
It supplies flexor pollicis longus, lateral half flexor
digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus
43. Motor – all anterior (flexor) compartment of
forearm (except flexor carpi ulnaris and ulnar
half of the flexor digitorum profundus ),pronator
teres & quadratus, intrinsic hand muscles
(LOAF;1,2 lumbricals, OP, FPB, APB)
Sensory – skin of the palmar aspect of the
thumb and the lateral 2 ½ fingers and the distal
ends of the same fingers and skin of distal
phalanx on same finger
Median Nerve
45. Cont…
Median nerve can be injured by deep cut with
resultant lost of flexion at all IP joint except the distal
ones in the ring and little finger.
MCP still can be flexed at this fingers ( lumbricals)
In the hand thumb is extend and adducted, lost of
ability to abduct and oppose.
Compression at the carpal tunnel give rise the carpal
tunnel syndrome (CTS)
46. Variations in median nerve anatomy in the carpal tunnel. (A) The most common branching pattern
of the motor branch is extraligamentous. (B)Subligamentous branching pattern of the motor
branch. (C)Transligamentous course of the recurrent motor branch. (D) The motor branch can
rarely arise from the ulnar border of the median nerve. (E) The motor branch can also lie superficial
to the transverse carpal ligament.
47. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression median
nerve at the carpal tunnel
Patient will experience
numbness, tingling, or
burning sensation at the
thumb, index, middle and
radial half of the ring
finger.
If untreated – weakness or
atrophy of the thenar
muscles.
48. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The six criteria included: (1) nocturnal numbness; (2)
numbness and tingling in the median nerve
distribution; (3) weakness and/or atrophy of the
thenar muscles; (4) Tinel sign; (5) Phalen’s test; and
(6) loss of two-point discrimination.
49. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
clinical practice guidelines
Nonsurgical treatment is an option for early CTS.
Surgery is an option when there is evidence of median
nerve denervation.
A second nonsurgical treatment or surgery is
recommended when initial nonsurgical treatment
fails after 2–7 weeks
Local steroid injection or splinting is recommended
prior to treatment with surgery
Oral steroids and ultrasound are also options for
treatment
50. American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons clinical practice guidelines
Carpal tunnel release is recommended for treatment
of CTS based on level I evidence
Heat therapy does not have evidence to support its
use in CTS.
Surgical treatment with complete division of the
flexor retinaculum is recommended, regardless of the
technique used.
Wrist immobilization is not recommended
postoperatively after routine carpal tunnel release. No
recommendation is made regarding use of
postoperative rehabilitation.
51. Ligament of Struthers. This proximal site of compression of the median nerve is
formed by a supracondylar bony process and a ligament that extends to the
medial humeral epicondyle.
52. Pronator syndrome
aching pain in the proximal volar forearm with
paresthesias
sensation in the palmar cutaneous nerve distribution
lost
attempt to pronate the neutral forearm against resistance;
if symptoms are elicited during this maneuver as the
elbow is extended, compression at the level of pronator
teres should be suspected.82
If pain or paresthesias are
triggered by resisted flexion of the fully supinated forearm,
the lacertus fibrosus may represent the site of
compression. Finally, if resisted contraction of the FDS to
the long finger reproduces symptoms, the FDS fibrous
53. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is
divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of
the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the
median nerve fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the
anterior interosseous nerve through its entire course.
54. AIN syndrome
AIN syndrome results from the isolated compression
of the AIN under the fibrous arch of the FDS or the
pronator teres. Patients with AIN syndrome will
describe weakness of pinch, which affects activities
such as picking up small objects and writing, without
sensory loss.
55. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is
divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of the flexor
digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve
fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous
nerve through its entire course.
56. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is

digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve
fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous
nerve through its entire course.
58. Suprascapular anatomy. The suprascapular nerve passes under the transverse scapular
ligament and through the suprascapular notch. Similarly, the spinoglenoid notch is
covered by the spinoglenoid ligament. Both ligaments can compress the suprascapular
nerve
