Of the muscles within the hand, the median nerve (C8, T1) commonly supplies two radial lumbricals, opponens pollicis, adductor pollicis brevis and flexor pollicis brevis. These all lie on the radial side. All other muscles of the hand are supplied by the ulnar nerve (C8,T1).

The extensor muscle of the hand are controlled by what nerve?
Posterior interosseus nerve, one of the two terminal branches of Radial and the Radial itself (it supply only one muscle)
What nerve supplies most hand muscles?
ulna nerves
What is the major nerves serve the most anterior forearm muscle?
The median nerve supplies most of the flexor muscles of the human forearm, and some hand muscles. The ulnar nerve also supplies two flexor muscles, and most of the remaining hand muscles that the median nerve does not cover.
Function of radial nerve?
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm, forearm and hand.
What nerves arise from the brachial plexus?
Axillary nerve- supplies the deltoid and teres minor muscles and the skin of the shoulderRadial nerve- controls the extensor muscles of the upper limb as well as the skin over the posterior and lateral margins of the armMusculocutaneous nerve- supplies the flexor muscles of the upper limb to the skin of the lateral armMedian nerve- innervates the flexor muscles of the forearm and digits, the pronator muscles, and the lateral skin of the hand.Ulnar nerve- controls the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle of the forearm, other muscles of the hand, and the medial skin of the hand

What major nerves serve the medial side of the hand?
You have three nerves, which supply your forearm. Radial, ulnar and median nerve. Out of these three nerves, median nerve is the main nerve to supply forearm muscles and some of the hand muscles.
Can the radial nerve in your hand repair itself if it is damaged?
yes, but it takes a while...
How does the radial nerve move in the body?
The radial nerve is the nerve that runs from the shoulder to the wrist. This nerve is sometimes referred to as the funny bone because of its placement. If the elbow is bumped in just the right place, it can cause a very funny sensation in the hand and arm.
What nerve is involved with carpal tunnel syndrome?
The median nerve, this nerve supplies feeling and movement to the thumb and "thumb-side" of the hand.
Which nerve is affected with shingles on your hand and arm?
The location of the Herpes lesions will determine the nerve involvement. If the pain or numbness is on the "inside" of the arm and hand (the "pinkie" finger side), then it is ulnar in origin. If the symptoms appear on the "outside" of the hand and arm (the thumb side) then the nerve involved is the radial. Karin Ivester
Which nerves supplies the lateral hand and runs through the carpal tunnel?
The median runs through the carpal tunnel. It supplies the thumb side of the hand.
