The phrenic nerve starts in the brain and travels down alongside the main spinal cord. the nerve then branches away. The right branch passes underneath the muscles of the neck and bones of the shoulder to the base of the right lung where it goes to the hear and windpipe. The left branch of the nerve follows a similar path passing close to the heart before entering the diaphragm.
