What nerve is particularly vulnerable to injury in a shoulder dislocation human anatomy?

All nerves forming the brachial plexus are vulerable to injuries. Most commonly affected are axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve and the radial nerve. The axillary nerve is injured in 37% making it the most commonly injured structure with this type of injury.Suprascapular nerve at 29%, and the radial nerve (22%).


What nerves isn't part of the brachial plexus?

The brachial plexus primarily comprises the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5 to T1, but there are several nerves that are not part of it. Notably, the intercostal nerves, which arise from the thoracic spinal nerves (T1 to T11), and the phrenic nerve, which originates from C3 to C5, are not included in the brachial plexus. Additionally, the cranial nerves, such as the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), also do not belong to this plexus.


Is the posterior interosseous nerve a cranial nerve or a spinal nerve?

what does ninth cranial nerve control? glossopharyngeal nerve is a mixed nerve, it has sensory and motor part. the sensory is at the poserior 1/3 of the tongue. It also is part of the pharyngeal plexus. (9,10,11) The motor part of the nerve ONLY supply the stylopharyngeus muscle!


In which plexus does the ulnar and median nerves arise from?

The ulnar and median nerves arise from the brachial plexus. Specifically, the median nerve is formed from contributions of the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, while the ulnar nerve primarily arises from the medial cord. Both nerves are crucial for motor and sensory functions in the arm and hand.


Which plexus gives rise to the sciatic nerve?

The sacral plexus gives rise to the sciatic nerve. It is formed by the ventral rami of spinal nerves L4-S4 and is the largest nerve in the body.
