Medial supraclavicular nerves
Nervi supraclaviculares mediales
Definition
The medial supraclavicular nerves (anterior supraclavicular nerves ; nn. supraclaviculares anteriores; suprasternal nerves) cross obliquely over the external jugular vein and the clavicular and sternal heads of the Sternocleidomastoideus, and supply the skin as far as the middle line. They furnish one or two filaments to the sternoclavicular joint.
