What else can I help you with?
Could an injury to the wrist cause a piched nerve to the cervical area?
Thank you for your question. My answer is "No." However, an injury to the cervical spinal nerves or those even lower, like an injury to the axillary (armpit) nerves or those in the elbow region can cause the symptoms of a pinched nerve with pain in the wrist. Pain would be located at the nerve injury or down the limb from the injured nerve. The only way a wrist injury could possibly cause a pinched nerve to your cervical region is if your wrist injury caused you to hold your wrist in a position that would strain your neck and pinch the nerves there. Very difficult to do.
What neural injury will the corneal reflex not test for?
The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
Could a neck injury result in cervical radiculitis?
Cervical radiculitius can be caused by a neck injury but, is not always associated with one. It is caused by an impact to the neck OR repeated bending of the neck. I have it and all of a sudden I woke up with my neck sideways and extreme nerve pain in my right arm. Hope this helps.
The phrenic nerve is a member of which nerve plexus?
Cervical plexus....
What are the risks associated with a cervical disk replacement?
Cervical disk replacement is used to repair the spinal cord when the cervical disks become worn out. Some risks include nerve injury, bleeding, issues with swallowing, and lifespan of the disk.
What primary nerve that controls breathing is found in which nerve plexus?
The nerve that control the larynx during breathing is the Vagus Nerve.
What does the reflex response when the object coming near the eye?
This is the menace response, in which the eye perceives an object traveling towards it and the eyelids are slammed shut. The nerve relay is cranial nerve II (optic nerve), optic chiasma, visual cortex, cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve).
How is pupil reflex controlled?
The pupil reflex is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions. Constriction of the pupil (miosis) is controlled by the parasympathetic system through the action of the cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve). Dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) is controlled by the sympathetic system through the action of the superior cervical ganglion.
What is a nerve emerging from the cervical plexus involved in breathing?
The Phrenic Nerve
What is the medical term meaning nerve pain caused by pressure on the spinal nerve roots in the neck region?
cervical radiculopathyradiculopathyCervical radiculopathyCervical radiculopathy
What is corneal reflex somatic?
The corneal reflex is a protective reflex involving the sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve (V) and the motor branch of the facial nerve (VII). When the cornea is touched, nerve impulses trigger a blinking reflex to protect the eye from potential damage.
Which nerve is important for the ankle jerk reflex?
medial popliteal nerve
