    Brachial Plexus Mnemonics.

    Brachial plexus is the most important topic of anatomy, which each one of us
    has to remember for medical examination in the 1st year of our MBBS. In this
    Brachial Plexus Mnemonics.
    post, we will be sharing ​the easiest way to remember the brachial plexus
    with mnemonics ​plus some great diagram which will help you to put a good
    grip on this topic.Before diving to the ​Brachial Plexus Mnemonics​ let's have
    a brief introduction of them.
    Brachial Plexus are constituted by the anterior primary rami of the spinal
    nerves C5, C6, C7, C8, and to T1, with contribution from the anterior primary
    rami of C4 and T2. The origin of the plexus may shift by one segment either
    upwards or downward, resulting in a prefixed or postfixed plexus respectively.
    ​
    ● ​In a prefixed plexus, the contribution by C4 is large and that from
    T2 is often absent.
    ● In a postfixed plexus, the contribution by T1 is large. T2 is always
    present, C4 is absent, and C5 is reduced in size.
