This muscle flexes and adducts the humerus. It is also a synergist of the pectoralis major
The nerve that passes through the coracobrachialis muscle is the musculocutaneous nerve.
The musculocutaneous nerve pierces the coracobrachialis muscle and supplies it with innervation.
The coracobrachialis muscle is involved with in the flexion and the adduction of the shoulder. That is to say, raising the arm and bringing the arm across the chest, respectively.
Either the triceps brachii or the coracobrachialis.

Coracobrachialis Muscle
The coracobrachialis muscle acts as a third-class lever in the body. It helps flex and adduct the arm at the shoulder joint by pulling on the coracoid process of the scapula when contracting.
The bicep flexes the arm at the elbow.
The muscles that horizontally flex the shoulder are the Pectoralis Major and the coracobrachialis.
The Triceps Brachi is the antagonist for the Corachobrachialis, the Brachialis and the Biceps Brachi
It contributes to adduction, horizontal adduction, and flexion of the humerus, enabling the arm to swing forwards, and it is a synergist of the pectoralis minor.
