Origins

I am a medical student and the sources compete as to whether the nerve to subclavius (often abbreviated Nsc) contains just C5 or C5 and C6 together. Can anyone from Ganfyd resolve this?

C5 alone sources: Dorland's Medical Dictionary for Health Consumers 2007 The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation: Opus III

C5 with C6 sources: Michigan State

Wikipedia's own Ganfyd

Bonica's Management of Pain

C5, with mention of C4 and C6: Anatomy and Human Movement: Structure and Function Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons

More citations needed

There is a desperate need for more scholarly sources for this article!

As the subclavius muscle is quite a niche muscle with more of an accessory function, its nerve is even more niche. It is rarely mentioned in textbooks and research papers.

Any more references would be appreciated. Bibeyjj (talk) 18:43, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
