Arm

In human anatomy, the arm refers to the upper limb in common usage, although academically the term specifically means the upper arm between the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint) and the elbow joint.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Arm

Biceps

The biceps or biceps brachii (musculus biceps brachii, "two-headed muscle of the arm") are a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Biceps

Brachialis muscle

The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Brachialis muscle

Brachioradialis

The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Brachioradialis

Cervical spinal nerve 5

The cervical spinal nerve 5 (C5) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. Cervical spinal nerve 6 and cervical spinal nerve 5 are Neuroanatomy stubs and spinal nerves.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Cervical spinal nerve 5

Cervical vertebrae

In tetrapods, cervical vertebrae (vertebra) are the vertebrae of the neck, immediately below the skull.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Cervical vertebrae

Coracobrachialis muscle

The coracobrachialis muscle is a muscle in the upper medial part of the arm.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Coracobrachialis muscle

Deltoid muscle

The deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Deltoid muscle

Denervation

Denervation is any loss of nerve supply regardless of the cause.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Denervation

Extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle

In human anatomy, extensor carpi radialis brevis is a muscle in the forearm that acts to extend and abduct the wrist.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle

Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle

The extensor carpi radialis longus is one of the five main muscles that control movements at the wrist.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle

Infraspinatus muscle

In human anatomy, the infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle, which occupies the chief part of the infraspinatous fossa.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Infraspinatus muscle

Injury

Injury is physiological damage to the living tissue of any organism, whether in humans, in other animals, or in plants.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Injury

Ischemia

Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Ischemia

Latissimus dorsi muscle

The latissimus dorsi is a large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides, behind the arm, and is partly covered by the trapezius on the back near the midline.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Latissimus dorsi muscle

Pectoralis major

The pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped or triangular convergent muscle of the human chest.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Pectoralis major

Rotator cuff

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the human shoulder and allow for its extensive range of motion.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Rotator cuff

Serratus anterior muscle

The serratus anterior is a muscle of the chest.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Serratus anterior muscle

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Spinal cord

Spinal nerve

A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. Cervical spinal nerve 6 and spinal nerve are spinal nerves.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Spinal nerve

Subclavius muscle

The subclavius is a small triangular muscle, placed between the clavicle and the first rib.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Subclavius muscle

Subscapularis muscle

The subscapularis is a large triangular muscle which fills the subscapular fossa and inserts into the lesser tubercle of the humerus and the front of the capsule of the shoulder-joint.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Subscapularis muscle

Supinator muscle

In human anatomy, the supinator is a broad muscle in the posterior compartment of the forearm, curved around the upper third of the radius.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Supinator muscle

Supraspinatus muscle

The supraspinatus (supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Supraspinatus muscle

Teres major muscle

The teres major muscle is a muscle of the upper limb.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Teres major muscle

Teres minor muscle

The teres minor (Latin teres meaning 'rounded') is a narrow, elongated muscle of the rotator cuff.

See Cervical spinal nerve 6 and Teres minor muscle
