It pierces the coracobrachialis muscle and gives off branches to the muscle‚ as well as to brachialis and biceps brachii. It terminates as the anterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm. The radial nerve‚ which is from the fifth cervical spinal nerve to the first thoracic spinal nerve‚ originates as the continuation of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. This nerve enters the lower triangular space (an imaginary

Additionally‚ the muscles that would’ve been reattached are biceps brachii‚ brachialis‚ triceps‚ and the coracobrachialis. The nerves that would’ve been fixed would be the median‚ ulnar‚ radial‚ musculocutaneous‚ and the antibrachial cultaneous nerves. The brachial‚ superior and inferior collateral‚ profunda brachii arteries would have to be reattached‚ along with several smaller veins. 3. The system that was most likely not reattached would be the lymphatic. The lymphatic system is composed of small vessels

In applying the BP cuff‚ it must be put directly around the patient’s bare arm over the brachial artery and not over clothing articles to prevent putting extra pressure. In other circumstances‚ “if the patient’s arm is too large or too short for the proper cuff fit‚ the patient’s sleeve cannot be moved above the elbow‚ or the correct size cuff
