The '''nerve to the Subclavius''' (or '''subclavian nerve''') is a small filament, which arises from the point of junction of the fifth and sixth [[cervical nerve]]s.
It descends to the [[subclavius muscle]] in front of the third part of the [[subclavian artery]] and the lower trunk of the plexus, and is usually connected by a filament with the [[phrenic nerve]].
