i believe this is the ulnar nerve. when this nerve gets a bang it creates the sensation that one would experience when they, "bang their funny bone".

What is the name of the nerve that passes through the coracobrachialis?

The nerve that passes through the coracobrachialis muscle is the musculocutaneous nerve.


What affects the speed of nerve transmission and how is it measured?

The speed of nerve transmission can be affected by factors such as the myelination of the nerve fiber, temperature, and the diameter of the nerve fiber. It is measured using techniques such as nerve conduction studies, where electrodes are placed on the skin to measure the speed of electrical impulses along a nerve.


What carry the impulses from the ear to the brain?

The impulses from the ear are carried to the brain by the auditory nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve or vestibulocochlear nerve. This nerve is responsible for transmitting sound and balance information from the inner ear to the brainstem.


Decribe ow infrared radiation makes skin feel hotter?

Infrared radiation penetrates the skin and interacts with molecules, causing them to vibrate and create heat. This heat sensation is perceived by nerve endings in the skin, triggering a response that makes us feel hotter.


What is nerve conduction velocity test?

A nerve conduction velocity test is a medical procedure used to assess how quickly electrical impulses travel through nerves. It helps diagnose conditions that affect the nervous system, such as nerve damage, neuropathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome, by measuring the speed of nerve signals. The test involves placing electrodes on the skin to stimulate the nerve and recording the response to determine the speed of conduction.

Which nerve runs in proximity to the medial epicondyle of the humerus?

The ulnar nerve runs in proximity to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. It passes behind the medial epicondyle in a groove called the cubital tunnel. Injury or compression of the ulnar nerve in this area can result in symptoms such as pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.


When palpation of which bony landmark helps locate the ulnar nerve?

In the groove between the head of the ulna and the olecranon process at the elbow; at the medial epicondyle of the humerus.


Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?

That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.


Where is the radial median and ulna nerve is found in the?

The radial, median, and ulnar nerves are found in the upper limb. The radial nerve runs along the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm, innervating the extensor muscles. The median nerve travels down the arm, passing through the cubital fossa and into the forearm, where it innervates flexor muscles and provides sensation to parts of the hand. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial side of the arm and forearm, passing behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus before supplying the intrinsic muscles of the hand.


What is the ulnar groove?

The ulnar groove also known as the ulnar sulcus is a slight depression found at the inferior, posterior, medial side of the humerus bone. The ulnar nerve runs downwards in the ulnar groove to go to the ulna.


Which nerve is important for the ankle jerk reflex?

What muscle is inserted on the medial surface of the eye?

The medial rectus inserts on the medial surface of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve.


Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?

Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.

What is the nerve supply to medial thigh and scrotum is it genitofemoral or ilioinguinal nerve?

Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.


What is the innervation of the forearm extensors?

The median nerve, supplies the lateral half of the arm, up to 1/2 of the fourth(ring) finger, while the ulnar nerve supplies the medial side of the arm, up to the pinky finger and the other 1/2 of the ring finger
