The Lateral cord is a division of the brachial plexus.

The lateral cord gives rise to the following nerves:

• The lateral pectoral nerve, C5, C6 and C7 to the pectoralis major muscle
• The musculocutaneous nerve which innervates the biceps muscle
• The median nerve, partly. The other part comes from the medial cord.
