How to Draw the Brachial Plexus

Directions
This PowerPoint presentation is animated, such that the appearance of image components and transitions between slides will occur automatically. Alternatively, clicking on the left mouse button will advance the presentation.

Educational Purpose
This brief, animated PowerPoint presentation guides anatomy students through the process of making a simple drawing of the brachial plexus. This mnemonic drawing can help students learn the basic parts of the brachial plexus and serve as a first step in understanding this clinically important nerve network.

Begin with a letter Y, an I and a Y.

Add a strike and a spare (bowling scorekeeping symbols)

Draw arches.
