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 bony landmark of the upper limb is used as a reference point for locainf the ulna?
The bony landmark used as a reference point for locating the ulna in the upper limb is the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This prominence is located on the inner side of the elbow and serves as a reliable guide for identifying the ulna, especially the ulnar shaft and the olecranon process at the elbow joint. Additionally, the ulnar nerve runs in close proximity to the medial epicondyle, making this landmark clinically significant.
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 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 part of the spin is the ulnar nerve connected to?
The ulnar nerve is primarily connected to the medial aspect of the arm and forearm, specifically innervating muscles in the forearm and hand. Its pathway runs from the brachial plexus, down the inner side of the arm, and it passes behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus at the elbow. This nerve plays a crucial role in the function of the hand, particularly in controlling fine motor skills and sensation in the ring and little fingers.
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.
Where is the radial median and ulna nerve is found in the?
The radial, median, and ulnar nerves are found in the upper limb. The radial nerve runs along the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm, innervating the extensor muscles. The median nerve travels down the arm, passing through the cubital fossa and into the forearm, where it innervates flexor muscles and provides sensation to parts of the hand. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial side of the arm and forearm, passing behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus before supplying the intrinsic muscles of the hand.
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.
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 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.
