What important structure passes below the medial condyle of the humerus?
The ulnar nerve passes below the medial condyle of the humerus through a structure called the cubital tunnel. This nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the pinky and half of the ring finger, as well as controlling certain hand muscles.
What is the ulnar groove?
The ulnar groove also known as the ulnar sulcus is a slight depression found at the inferior, posterior, medial side of the humerus bone. The ulnar nerve runs downwards in the ulnar groove to go to the ulna.
Your funny bone ia actually a nerve named for what bone?
well the funny bone is the bone....but if you're wondering why its CALLED funny bone, then its because a part in the funny bone is called humerus and HUMERus (its like humor but misspelled)
What is use of external rotation of humerus in kocher's maneuver?
External rotation of the humerus in Kocher's maneuver helps to reduce the risk of damaging the axillary nerve during shoulder reduction. This rotation maneuver helps to realign the humeral head in the glenoid socket by avoiding impingement of the nerve.
Is the funny bone a real bone?
The "funny bone" is the extension of the humerus bone (upper arm bone) into the elbow joint with the ulna (larger forearm bone). At the inside of the elbow, the ulnar nerve is located where the olecranon, or upper end of the ulna , meets the epicondyle, or lower end of the humerus. If the joint is struck, there is a tingling (a funny or odd sensation) and sometimes a temporary numbness in the lower arm, because the signals along the ulnar nerve are interrupted.This has little to do with the name of the upper arm bone being the humerus (humorous), which is the Latin word for "shoulder."
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.
What is the nerve in the medial epicondyle that makes your hand tingle?
The nerve in the medial epicondyle that can cause tingling in the hand is the ulnar nerve. Compression or injury to the ulnar nerve at the elbow can lead to symptoms like tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers.

What causes the shock like feeling when you touch your elbow?
Yes. Behind medial epicondyl of humerus, there is ulnar nerve. If you press it you get shock like feeling in your outer fingers. This happens because muscles supplied by this nerve are stimulated by your action.
Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.

Which nerve is important for the ankle jerk reflex?
medial popliteal nerve
What are your triceps?
Triceps is a very powerful muscle on the backside of your arm. It has medial, lateral and long head. That is why the name triceps goes. Medial and long heads arise from the humerus bone and long bone arise from the infraglenoid tubercle of scapula bone. It is inserted on the olecranon process of the ulna bone of the forearm. It gets the nerve supply from the radial nerve, on it's way to extensor compartment of the forearm.
What is use of external rotation of humerus in kocher's maneuver?
External rotation of the humerus in Kocher's maneuver helps to reduce the risk of damaging the axillary nerve during shoulder reduction. This rotation maneuver helps to realign the humeral head in the glenoid socket by avoiding impingement of the 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.
