| 1. | Relief can be provided by anesthetizing the relevant intercostal nerve with local anesthetic.
|
| 2. | These small arteries run with the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves.
|
| 3. | The first technique is related to the non-invasive study of intercostal nerves.
|
| 4. | The vein is superior to the artery, and the intercostal nerve is inferior to it.
|
| 5. | The dominant innervation to the nipple is derived from the lateral cutaneous branches of fourth intercostal nerve.
|
| 6. | Anterior divisions : The intercostal nerves come from thoracic nerves T1-T11, and run between the ribs.
|
| 7. | Posteriorly, the second rib is connected with the vertebral column by the intercostal veins and arteries and intercostal nerve.
|
| 8. | The lower intercostal nerves supply the Intercostales and abdominal muscles; the last three send branches to the Serratus posterior inferior.
|
| 9. | The costal and cervical portions and the periphery of the diaphragmatic portion of the parietal pleurae are innervated by the intercostal nerves.
|
| 10. | The transversus thoracis muscle is innervated by one of the intercostal nerves and superiorly attaches at the posterior surface of the lower sternum.
