Hey! Just wondering if anyone knows a good resource that may help in following the pathway of the nerves (radial, ulnar, musculocutaenous, median) from the brachial plexus through the arm, elbow, and forearm and similarly for the pathway of the arteries starting with the axillary artery.

I don't know if there is a comprehensive resource/diagram somewhere that is easy to see, and if possible with a verbal description? (some pics in textbooks and course notes aren't that great)

Any other resources or links for the upper limb and lower limb you'd recommend?

Thanks!

To tell you the truth, I found BRS anatomy to be hands-down the most awesome upper limb study tool. Also, Michigan's website is great. Draw the stuff yourself (even if you aren't an awesome artist) and it will start to stick with some repetition.

I could not decipher the brachial plexus for the life of me until I looked at this picture on wikipedia. Maybe it'll work for you, maybe it won't. Whether it's for the arteries or nerves, it's always good to draw them out. Stand at a whiteboard for as long as it takes until you can do it from memory.

I always liked Moore for its nerve and artery layouts of the limbs.

The "how to draw tbe brachial plexus in less than 5 minutes" helped me a lot. No need to overcomplicate it.
