2023年8月14日 · Responsibility of the lateral and medial branches of dorsal rami in thoracic spinal nerves varies based on vertebral level. Superior to T6, the medial branch provides muscular and cutaneous innervation, and the lateral branch solely provides solely muscular innervation. The opposite is true for these branches caudally to T6.
