The radial nerve runs along the thumb-side edge of the forearm.
It gives sensation to the back of the hand from the thumb to main knuckle of the back surface of the ring and middle fingers.
The median nerve travels through carpal tunnel.
Sensory branch to the thumb, index finger, long finger, and half of the ring finger.
Motor branch to the thenar muscles(abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis) of the thumb.
The ulnar nerve travels Guyon's canal.
Sensory branch to the little finger and half the ring finger.
Motor branch to adductor pollicis and hypothenar muscle(abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi brevis, opponens digiti minimi).
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 nerve supply for taste bud of circumvallate papilla?
It should supply with glossopharyngeal & facial nerve.
How is the nerve supply to platysma muscle?
Facial nerve
Is the sciatic nerve the only nerve with blood supply?
No, the sciatic nerve is not the only nerve with a blood supply. All nerves in the body have a blood supply to maintain their function and health, typically provided by small blood vessels called vasa nervorum. These vessels supply oxygen and nutrients to the nerve tissues. Therefore, while the sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves, it is not unique in having a blood supply.
What structures does the glossopharyngeal nerve supply?
what structures does the vagus nerve su
What muscles does sural nerve supply?
The sural nerve is cutaneous and therefore does not supply any muscles.
What is the nerve supply to the larynx?
The larynx receives its nerve supply from the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). Specifically, the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates the intrinsic muscles of the larynx involved in phonation, while the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve supplies the cricothyroid muscle.
What is the nerve supply to the levator scapula?
The nerve supply to the levator scapula muscle is from the dorsal scapular nerve (C5) and the third and fourth cervical nerves (C3, C4) that form the cervical plexus.
What is the function of the nerve located on the top of the hand?
The nerve located on the top of the hand, known as the radial nerve, is responsible for providing sensation and controlling movement in the back of the hand, thumb, and fingers.
Which Nerve is responsible for fine movement of the hand?
median nerve
Does the ring finger have a nerve?
Yes, the ring finger has nerves that supply sensation and movement. The primary nerves responsible for this are the ulnar nerve and the median nerve, which provide sensory innervation and motor control to the muscles in the hand. Damage or injury to these nerves can affect the function and sensation of the ring finger.
