Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Counting the axillary nerve, which is not truly in the axilla, there are seven peripheral nerves in the axilla that arise from the brachial plexus. These are the medial cutaneous nerves to the arm and the forearm, the ulnar nerve, which arises from the medial cord, the median nerve, which comes from the medial and lateral cords, the radial nerve, which arises from the posterior cord, and the musculocutaneous nerve, which originates from the lateral cord. These nerves and their areas of sensory distributions are discussed in this chapter. The intercostobrachial nerve, which does not originate from the brachial plexus, arises from the first and second thoracic spinal root and innervates the skin in the medial upper arm and axilla. The motor functions of these nerves are discussed in Chapter 9.
