Cervical nerves are the nerves that originate from the spinal cord in the cervical region of the vertebral column. These nerves are responsible for transmitting sensory and motor signals between the brain and the upper body. There are eight pairs of cervical nerves labeled C1 to C8. Synonyms for cervical nerves include C-spine nerves, neck nerves, and cervical plexus. These terms are often used interchangeably in medical literature and discussions. Understanding the different synonyms for cervical nerves is crucial for proper communication between healthcare professionals and patients when discussing neck-related conditions or injuries.
