The Ulnar nerve is located in the joint of the elbow. It is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body, therefore injuries are very common. It is also commonly referred to as the "Funny Bone".

From anterior to posterior put the nerves issuing from the Brachial plexus in their proper order?

The nerves issuing from the Brachial plexus in order from anterior to posterior are musculocutaneous nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve, radial nerve, and axillary nerve.


Can shoulder impingement cause ulnar nerve damage?

Shoulder impingement typically does not directly cause ulnar nerve damage. However, if left untreated, shoulder impingement can lead to altered mechanics and postures which may put additional stress on the ulnar nerve over time, potentially leading to issues like ulnar nerve entrapment. It's important to address shoulder impingement early to prevent complications.


What are the four nerve plexuses?

Cervical: C1 - C5Innervates muscles of neck and extend into thoracic cavity, where they control diaphragmatic muscles. Major nerve: Phrenic...which provides entire nerve supply to diaphragm.Brachial: C5-T1Innervates pectoral girdle and upper limbs. Major nerves: Radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve.Lumbar: T12 - L4Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Genitofemoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and femoral nerve.Sacral: L4-S5Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Sciatic nerve (which branches into tibial and fibular nerves) and pudendal nerve.


The median nerve is a member of which nerve plexus?

The median nerve is a member of the brachial plexus. It is formed by contributions from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, primarily from spinal nerve roots C6, C7, C8, and T1.
