What nerve supplies most hand muscles?
ulna nerves
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 a nerve Cell replace itself after injury?
One of two thing can happen (depending on just how damaged). If it is a sensory nerve, that will not carry sensory impulses to the CNS. You may have a numb feeling in a small area or a very large area. If it is a motor nerve, you may not be able to move a muscle (or a group of muscles). That really is paralyzed means.
What cranial nerve has been damaged when your mouth droops?
branches of the facial nerve
What part of the brain will cause dizziness nausea and a loss of balance if damaged?
If the vestibulocochlear nerve is damaged, it can cause dizziness, nausea, and a loss of balance. It is also known as the auditory vestibular nerve.
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 is the damage nerve results in wristdrop?
- Wrist drop occurs when the radial nerve becomes compressed or damaged.
Dos a nerve damaged in surgery repair itself in due course?
The nerve fibres are covered by endoneurium. For a nerve fibre to repair this endoneural layer needs to be present. There are two types of nerve fibres--myelinated and non-myelinated. The myelinated nervefibres are covered by myelin sheath made of schwann cells. These schwann cells have the capacity to secrete substances which repair the nerve fibre. But, the non-myelinated ones don't have a full layer of schwann cells around them. So, they generally don't repair easily once being damaged. However, in any case, endoneurium should be present for a nerve fibre to repair. In damage of nerve fibre during surgery if the nerve is cut, it means the endoneurium is also cut(damaged) at that site. So, usually that nerve can not repair on its own.
WHAT Nerve supplies the triceps brachii muscles and the extensor digitorum longus?
radial nerve !
Are spinal nerves able to repair themselves?
If the myelin sheath is able to repair and regenerate itself, normal nerve function may return. However, if the sheath is severely damaged, the underlying nerve fiber can die.Because nerve fibers in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) rarely regenerate, such damage is irreversible.
Which artery runs in the radial groove with radial nerve?

What blood vessel supply blood to the Radius bone and radial nerve?
Radial Artery
What nerve supplies most hand muscles?
ulna nerves
What nerves control the extensors muscles?
The Radial Nerve.
Can the nervous system repair its cables?
The nervous system is comprised of nerves called neurons, not 'cables'. Different nerve cells can reproduce to create newer nerve cells to replace damaged cells.
