intercostal nerve

In humans, the nipple is innervated by the fourth intercostal nerve.

This part of the parietal pleura is innervated by the intercostal nerves.

Relief can be provided by anesthetizing the relevant intercostal nerve with local anesthetic.

These small arteries run with the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves.

The vein is superior to the artery, and the intercostal nerve is inferior to it.

These rami are called the intercostal nerves.

The internal intercostals are innervated by the intercostal nerve.

The 10th intercostal nerve terminates at the umbilicus.

The intercostobrachial nerves are cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves.

The breast is Peripheral nervous system by the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the fourth through sixth intercostal nerves.

The intercostal nerves innervate the costotransverse joints.

The 7th intercostal nerve terminates at the xyphoid process, at the lower end of the sternum.

If this fibrous attachment becomes divided, the rib(s) may ride up and irritate the intercostal nerve(s) causing pain.

The muscle is supplied by the anterior rami of the thoracic spinal nerves (intercostal nerves).

The first intercostal nerve rarely gives off a lateral cutaneous branch; but sometimes sends a small branch to communicate with the intercostobrachial.

The intercostal nerves come from thoracic nerves T1-T11, and run between the ribs ("costae").

The intercostobrachial nerves (which are branches of the second and third intercostal nerves) are also frequently missed with the axillary block.

The parietal pleura is attached to the wall of the thoracic cavity and innervated by the intercostal nerves and phrenic nerve.

The lower intercostal nerves supply the Intercostales and abdominal muscles; the last three send branches to the Serratus posterior inferior.

The internal oblique is innervated by the lower intercostal nerves, as well as the iliohypogastric nerve and the ilioinguinal nerve.

The transversus thoracis muscle is innervated by the intercostal nerve and superiorly attaches at the posterior surface of the lower sternum.

The types of anaesthesia applied were general (two patients) and epidural analgesia plus sedation, with local infiltration and intercostal nerve blocks (15 patients).

Diaphragm (innervated by phrenic nerve) and external intercostal muscles (innervated by segmental intercostal nerves) contract, creating a negative pressure around the lung.

Unlike the nerves from the autonomic nervous system that innervate the visceral pleura of the thoracic cavity, the intercostal nerves arise from the somatic nervous system.

The lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve does not divide, like the others, into an anterior and a posterior branch; it is named the intercostobrachial nerve.
