Median nerve

Nervus medianus

Formed from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus (C5-T1). It descends through the arm without giving branches, passes through the cubital fossa, runs between the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus in the forearm, and enters the hand through the carpal tunnel.
