Anatomy Course The terminal branch of superficial peroneal nerve. Travels on the lateral side of the foot where it eventually gives off dorsal digital branches. Supply Supplies the skin of the dorsum digits of the foot with the exception of the lateral aspect of the little toe and in between the great and second toe.

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the eighth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the eighth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the seventh thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the seventh intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the sixth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the sixth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the fifth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the fifth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the fourth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the fourth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course A medium sized vein that comes off the antebrachial vein. At the elbow joint it joins the cephalic vein. Drain Drains the superficial component of the forearm. Clinical It is located significantly farther from arteries than other veins. Along with its size, it makes a popular target for inserting a cannula. Interested in
