Median Nerve. It is one of the five main nerves originating from the brachial plexus. It originates from lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, and has contributions from ventral roots of C5-C6 and C8 and T1. The median nerve is only nerve that passes through carpal tunnel. Carpel tunnel syndrome is the disability the results from the median nerve being pressed in carpal tunnel.
MT's avoid this area because of the potential for nerve damage. Good article to describe median nerve compression.
