When Trauma to a nerve of this plexus may cause a wrist drop?

Trauma to the radial nerve of the brachial plexus can cause wrist drop. This nerve controls the muscles responsible for wrist extension. Damage to the radial nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis of these muscles, resulting in the inability to lift the wrist and extend the hand.


Can sixth nerve palsy be caused by a traumatic fall to the ground?

If the head was involved in the trauma, then yes. Various studies of isolated extraocular nerve palsies/paralyses show that the sixth cranial nerve is the most susceptible to damage from trauma. This is due to the tortuosity and length of the abducens nerve.


What part of the brain will cause dizziness nausea and a loss of balance if damaged?

Damage to the cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, can lead to symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and loss of balance. It plays a critical role in coordinating movement and maintaining balance in the body.


What potential problems could a nerve cell have?

Potential problems for our nerve cells are that, if you happen to have alot of nerve cells that die you could lose feeling in your chest. You could suffer a heart attack. Another problem for neurons is that their axons, which can be quite long, are not good electrical conductors. Although neurons and wires are both capable of passively conducting electricity, the electrical properties of neurons compare poorly to even the most ordinary wire.


What is the nerve at the back of the eye?

The nerve at the back of the eye is the optic nerve. It transmits visual information from the retina to the brain, allowing us to see. Damage to the optic nerve can result in vision problems or even blindness.

Why can't you talk straight?

If the nerve damage is in the feet, or legs, this causes difficulty maintaining balance. Nerve damage is most commonly caused by diabetes, however it can also be the result of infection, trauma, alcoholism, nutrient deficiencies, trauma, autoimmune diseases and medications, such as side effects from chemotherapy.


What are the symptoms of 8th cranial nerve damage?

Which cranial nerve controls hearing and body balance?

The cranial nerve that controls hearing and body balance is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It has two main branches: the cochlear branch, responsible for hearing, and the vestibular branch, responsible for balance and spatial orientation.


Which cranial nerve controls both body balance and hearing?

The vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII) is responsible for both hearing (cochlear function) and balance (vestibular function). It carries information from the inner ear to the brain, allowing us to hear and maintain our sense of balance.
