The video tutorial explores the nervus musculocutaneous, a mixed nerve of the arm. It originates from the lateral bundle of the brachial plexus, receiving fibers from C5 to C7 segments. The nerve travels through the axilla, piercing the coracobrachialis muscle, and runs between the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. It innervates the biceps, brachialis, and coracobrachialis muscles. The nerve ends as the cutaneous nerve on the lateral forearm, providing sensory supply from the elbow to the wrist.
