The brachial plexus branches to the pectoral muscles in adult rats: morphological aspects and morphometric normative data

Animal models provide an important tool to investigate the pathogenesis of neuromuscular disorders. In the present study, we analyze fiber composition of the brachial plexus branches to the pectoral muscles: the medial anterior thoracic nerve and the lateral anterior thoracic nerve. The morphologica...
