No nerve is truly "exposed" which means it is on the surface of the body as all are under the skin. However the ulnar nerve is probably the most exposed of the nerves in the body. It runs from the brachial plexus down to the forearm and to get here ut must go via the elbow. For some unknown reason this nerve passes around a structure of the humerus called the medial epicondyl and at that point has amost no pretection at all. This is the reason for the tingling sensation in the forearm when the elbow is knocked at certan angles, it stimulates the neurones to start firing randomly. And this snesation is what earner the humerus the name the funny bone not the fact that it is called the humerus.

Which type of nerve cells only carry impulses toward the body of the cell?
Part of nerve cells. The axon carries the impulse toward the body of other nerve cells. Part of neurons.

how many nerves in human body?
A nerve is a bundle of individual neurons. There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the human body (about the same number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), but there are only 214 nerves in the human body.

How do they elevate the periosteum?
Massage is the only way to alleviate the periosteum since they have nociceptive nerve endings. There is no way to elevate them because they are found throughout the human body on all bones.

How many chromosomes are in a human nerve cell?
Humans have 46 chromosomes in their nerve cells, unless they have a chromosomal disorder. With the exception of the reproductive cells, which only carry half the chromosomal DNA, all human cells have the same amount of chromosomes.
