This species is important because it is a model for comparative studies of the evolutionary anatomy of xenarthrans. However, there are few anatomical studies on which to base these areas, such as the anatomy of the brachial plexus. Several studies use the brachial plexus anatomy for phylogenetic analysis and medical procedures. Thus, this study aimed to describe the origin and distribution of the brachial plexus in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>T. mexicana<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content>. Twelve specimens of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>T. mexicana<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> fixed in formaldehyde 4% were dissected. The ventral spinal nerves from C5 to T2 originated the brachial plexus. In most cases, C5\u2013C7 formed the cranial trunk, C6\u2013C7 the middle trunk and C8\u2013T1 the caudal trunk. In all specimens, these trunks joined and formed the common trunk, which distally divided into two divisions: dorsal and ventral. The pectoralis cranialis, pectoralis caudalis, thoracicus longus, thoracicus lateralis and thoracodorsalis nerves supplied the extrinsic thoracic limb muscles. The innervation for the intrinsic thoracic limb muscles was supplied by the suprascapularis, subscapulares, axillaris, musculocutaneus, radialis, medianus and ulnaris nerves. The intercostobrachialis, axillaris, radialis, ulnaris, medianus and caudal cutaneous antebrachial nerves innervated the skin of this species. The trunks and divisions were similar comparatively to those reported in other xenarthrans. However, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>T. mexicana<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> was more similar to sloths. This suggests a phylogenetic trade in their evolution. The origin and distribution of the brachial plexus nerves resembled those of the other Xenarthras, which can assist in medical procedures within the superorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,6]],"date-time":"2025-04-06T00:09:34Z","timestamp":1743898174000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Origin and Distribution of the Brachial Plexus Nerves in Northern Tamandua (<scp><i>Tamandua mexicana<\/i><\/scp>)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1768-0877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Monroy\u2010Cendales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Science Faculty Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales U.D.C.A  Bogota Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola Andrea","family":"Velazco\u2010Casta\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics Universidad del Tolima  Ibague Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Casta\u00f1eda\u2010Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Salud Animal, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y de Zootecnia Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Bogot\u00e1  Bogot\u00e1 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Angelica","family":"Miglino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Mar\u00edlia  Mar\u00edlia Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Fernando","family":"V\u00e9lez\u2010Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics Universidad del Tolima  Ibague Colombia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/mammalia\u20102011\u20100089"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5007\/2175\u20107925.2013v26n3p195"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/1678\u20105150\u2010pvb\u20106597"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1091140205"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22456\/1679\u20109216.140181"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aanat.2021.151751"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","volume-title":"Anatomy of the Dog: With Aaron Horowitz and Rolf Berg","author":"Budras K.
