Explore the anatomy of the axillary nerve in this detailed 3D video.
Follow its origin, course, motor branches, and sensory distribution as we bring this key peripheral nerve to life.
What you’ll learn in this video:
- The origin of the axillary nerve from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus (C5–C6).
- Its anatomical course as it passes anterior to the subscapularis and enters the quadrangular space.
- The division into anterior and posterior branches, supplying the deltoid and teres minor muscles.
- The pathway of the superior lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm provides sensation to the lateral shoulder.
- The clinical relevance of this nerve in shoulder injuries and deltoid weakness.
🧠 With Muscle and Motion, you don’t just memorize anatomy - you see it.
Our 3D animations make complex neuroanatomy clear, engaging, and easy to understand.
