No nerve is truly "exposed" which means it is on the surface of the body as all are under the skin. However the ulnar nerve is probably the most exposed of the nerves in the body. It runs from the brachial plexus down to the forearm and to get here ut must go via the elbow. For some unknown reason this nerve passes around a structure of the humerus called the medial epicondyl and at that point has amost no pretection at all. This is the reason for the tingling sensation in the forearm when the elbow is knocked at certan angles, it stimulates the neurones to start firing randomly. And this snesation is what earner the humerus the name the funny bone not the fact that it is called the humerus.

Which type of nerve cells only carry impulses toward the body of the cell?
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry impulses only towards the body of the cell. They transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system for processing.
What is the only organ that can in the human body?
body
What cranial nerve is the only one to leave the head and neck area?
The vagus nerve (CN X) is the only cranial nerve that extends beyond the head and neck area. It travels throughout the body, reaching organs such as the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
Are the nodes of ranvier found at a regular interval only on myelinated peripheral nerve fibers?
No, the nodes of Ranvier are found at regular intervals on both myelinated central and peripheral nerve fibers. They are gaps in the myelin sheath where the axon is exposed, allowing for the propagation of action potentials along the nerve fiber.
Is a nerve a complete cell?
No, a nerve is not a complete cell. Nerves are made up of nerve cells called neurons that consist of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The nerve cell works together with other cells to transmit signals throughout the body.
how many nerves in human body?
A nerve is a bundle of individual neurons. There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the human body (about the same number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), but there are only 214 nerves in the human body.
Is there any part of the human body that does not have a nerve?
Hair, fingernails and toenails, which can be cut without feeling any pain (or sensation of any kind) do not contain nerves, although the roots do contain nerves, so you do feel pain if these are ripped out. Callouses also do not contain nerves.
Which type of nerve cells only carry impulses toward the body of the cell?
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry impulses only towards the body of the cell. They transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system for processing.
How do they elevate the periosteum?
Massage is the only way to alleviate the periosteum since they have nociceptive nerve endings. There is no way to elevate them because they are found throughout the human body on all bones.
How many peripheral nerves in the body are there?
A nerve is a bundle of individual neurons. There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the human body (about the same number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), but there are only 214 nerves in the human body.
Do we have two livers, or is there only one liver in the human body?
There is only one liver in the human body.
What is the only organ that can in the human body?
body
Is americium in the human body?
Americium can be in the human body only as the result of an undesired contamination.
How many craniums does the human body have?
Cranium is your skull. The human body has only one skull.
What is the only organ fully developed at birth in the human body?
The only organ fully developed at birth in the human body is the brain.
What cranial nerve is the only one to leave the head and neck area?
The vagus nerve (CN X) is the only cranial nerve that extends beyond the head and neck area. It travels throughout the body, reaching organs such as the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
