What is the nerve in the medial epicondyle that makes your hand tingle?
Coolmomontheblock
i believe this is the ulnar nerve. when this nerve gets a bang it creates the sensation that one would experience when they, "bang their funny bone".

What is nerve conduction velocity test?
Nerve conduction velocity test-- A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
Is ventricular systole responsible for nerve impulse?
no ventricular diastole is responsible for nerve impulse
Do your ears connect to your brain?
There is a cranial nerve called the vestibulocochlear nerve which connects your inner ear to your brain stem.
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
It is in the inner ear that we find the structures that translate the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses.
I hit my elbow and right away my figures got a shock-like numb feeling in my pinky and ring finger and I wanted to know if I popped or punctured a nerve so did I or did something else happen?
If, a day later, your fingers are still numb or tingly, you may have injured a nerve. Usually, though, the nerve is just sending out electrical signals like crazy because of the impact to it, and will go back to normal. Interestingly enough, the nerve that goes to your pinky and ring finger is not the same nerve that goes to the rest of your fingers.
Which nerve runs in proximity to the medial epicondyle of the humerus?
ulnar nerve
When palpation of which bony landmark helps locate the ulnar nerve?
In the groove between the head of the ulna and the olecranon process at the elbow; at the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
Why does it tingle when you hit your funny bone?
it is due to the presence of the ulnar nerve located at the groove in the medial side of the elbow. It is called as a "funny nerve" not a funny bone.
Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.
What is the function of the medial nerve?
what is the function of the median nerve
Which nerve is important for the ankle jerk reflex?
medial popliteal nerve
What muscle is inserted on the medial surface of the eye?
The medial rectus inserts on the medial surface of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve.
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
What Muscle rolls the eyeball downward?
Trick question! Inferior Rectus and Superior Oblique. You sneaky person you :)
What important structure passes below the medial condyle of the humerus?
The ulnar nerve passes below the medial condyle of the humerus. The ulnar nerve is commonly known as the "funny bone."
What is the nerve supply to medial thigh and scrotum is it genitofemoral or ilioinguinal nerve?
Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.
What is the innervation of the forearm extensors?
The median nerve, supplies the lateral half of the arm, up to 1/2 of the fourth(ring) finger, while the ulnar nerve supplies the medial side of the arm, up to the pinky finger and the other 1/2 of the ring finger
