The degree of injury associated with these conditions is dependent on the site and extent of the injury, including ruptures, avulsions and more. The brachial plexus is an elaborate network of nerves associated with the motor and sensory innervation of the upper limbs. The plexus's intricate nature is derived from its anatomical structure and composition of ventral rami, trunks, divisions, cords, and terminal branches. These terminal branches include the ulnar nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, median nerve, axillary nerve, and radial nerve. Given the complexity of the brachial plexus and the potential life-altering injuries medical professionals encounter, it is important for pre-health students to understand the anatomical elements of this major structure. The use of models in anatomy education is an incredible resource that promotes spatial understanding, improves retention and exam performances as well as overall engagement of students. This creative thesis will enhance student comprehension of the brachial plexus and the spatial understanding of structures within this plexus.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
