Dorsal scapular nerve

Template:Infobox Nerve Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The dorsal scapular nerve arises from the brachial plexus, usually from the plexus root (anterior ramus) of C5.

It provides motor innervation to the rhomboid muscles, which pull the scapula towards the spine and levator scapulae muscle, which elevates the scapula.
