SUMMARY
1. Enters the forearm between 2 heads of pronator teres. In the forearm it gives a deep & cutaneous branches.
DEEP BRANCH
2. Anterior interosseous n. which descends down the forearm on anterior interosseous membrane - supplies FPL, pronator quadratus, lateral half of FDP (tendons of which attach to index & middle fingers).
MAIN NERVE
3. Main n. supplies pronator teres, FCR, palmaris longus, FDS.
CUTANEOUS BRANCH
4. Comes off 5cm proximal to wrist to supply skin over thenar eminence.
