Which plexus innervates the arm
A
cervical
B
brachial
C
lumbar
D
sacral
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The brachial plexus provides somatic motor and sensory innervation to the upper extremity, including the scapular region. As the brachial plexus travels through the posterior triangle of the neck into the axilla, arm, forearm, and hand, it contains various named regions based on how the plexus is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nerve fibers from the anterior division of the brachial plexus are contained in the musculocutaneous, median, and ulnar nerves. These nerves innervate the anterior muscles of the upper arm, forearm, and intrinsic muscles. [10][11][12][11] This innervation mainly provides flexion of the upper limb.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brachial plexus is the network of nerves that sends signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm and hand.

Detailed explanation-4: -The brachial plexus (plexus brachialis) is a somatic nerve plexus formed by intercommunications among the ventral rami (roots) of the lower 4 cervical nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1).

Detailed explanation-5: -The fifth and final level of the brachial plexus are the five nerves that feed the shoulder and arm called “branches.” These five branches are named the musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, and ulnar nerves.
