What two prominent muscles have been affected if your right accessory nerve was severed in an accident and there was muscle atrophy?

When a nerve is cut, the muscle that communicates with the brain along that nerve no longer functions. this results in atrophy, the muscle thinning. It may not be repairable since the nerves degenerate when they get cut. If the surgeon says a nerve graft is doable, then there can be good sucess with a repair.


What cranial nerve controls neck and shoulder movements?

Cranial Nerve XI (eleven) is know as the spinal accessory nerve and is responsible for the action of shoulder shrugging by way of its innervation of the trapezius muscle. The function of this cranial nerve may also be tested by asking the patient to turn their head to the left and right and by resisting this motion by placing your hand on their chin (the muscle tested in this second scenario is the Sternocleidomastoid, SCM).

What nerve causes tingling in the right forearm and hand?

Tingling in the right forearm and hand is often caused by irritation or compression of the median nerve, which runs down the arm and into the hand. This condition can be linked to carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Other potential causes include ulnar nerve compression or cervical radiculopathy, where nerve roots in the neck are affected. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The recurrent laryngeal nerve is a branch of the vagus nerve that innervates the muscles of the larynx, which are important for vocalization and swallowing. It loops around the aorta on the left side and the subclavian artery on the right side before traveling back up to the larynx. Injury to this nerve can result in vocal cord paralysis.
