This study aimed to document the detailed features of the morphological structure and the innervation areas of the brachial plexus in Merlin (Falco columbarius). The skin and muscles of five adult male Merlins were dissected under the stereo microscope. The Merlin had two plexus trunks. The accessory brachial plexus consisted of ventral rami C10 and C11. C11 was divided into two branches: the cranial and caudal. The brachial plexus was composed of a rather complex network involving the ventral rami of C11-C13, T1 and T2. In addition, a thin branch from the last two cervical sympathetic nerves participated in the plexus formation. C12, C13 and T1 had rather thick trunk. C12, C13 and T1 were also involved in the formation of the brachial plexus emerging after 1 cm from the foramen inter-vertebrale as three trunk roots.
本研究旨在记录矛隼（矛隼）臂丛神经的形态结构和神经支配区域的详细特征。在体视显微镜下解剖了五只成年雄性矛隼的皮肤和肌肉。矛隼有两个神经丛干。副臂丛神经由第10和第11颈神经前支组成。第11颈神经分为两支：头侧支和尾侧支。臂丛神经由一个相当复杂的网络组成，涉及第11 - 13颈神经前支、第1胸神经和第2胸神经。此外，最后两根颈交感神经的一条细支参与了神经丛的形成。第12、13颈神经和第1胸神经有相当粗的干。第12、13颈神经和第1胸神经也参与了臂丛神经在椎间孔后1厘米处作为三个干根出现的形成过程。
