Anatomical Course of the Musculocutaneous Nerve Diagram

The musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7, lateral cord) pierces coracobrachialis, runs between biceps/brachialis, supplies coracobrachialis, biceps, brachialis (elbow flexion/supination), then becomes lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm for lateral forearm skin.

Venous Drainage of the Pelvis Diagram

Pelvic venous drainage includes internal iliac veins (gluteal, obturator, vesical, uterine/vaginal, rectal plexuses), external iliac (femoral continuation), common iliac to IVC. Valveless plexuses allow retrograde spread in malignancy.
