5 lip 2023 · It is a mixed nerve and provides motor innervation to various muscles of the forearm and hand as well as sensory supply to the skin of the hand. The ulnar nerve can broadly be described as the nerve of the hand, as it innervates the vast majority of the intrinsic hand muscles.
A single motor neuron, however, can innervate many muscle fibers. The combination of an individual motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that it innervates is called a motor unit. The number of fibers innervated by a motor unit is called its innervation ratio.
21 kwi 2024 · Motor functions: Innervates the flexor and pronator muscles in the anterior compartment of the forearm (except the flexor carpi ulnaris and part of the flexor digitorum profundus, innervated by the ulnar nerve). Also supplies innervation to the thenar muscles and lateral two lumbricals in the hand.
13 lis 2023 · The nerves of the hand and wrist originate from the structure called the brachial plexus which is located proximally in the root of the neck and axillary region. This plexus is formed from the combination of the anterior rami of the spinal nerves C5-T1 and is responsible for motor and sensory innervation of the upper limb.
The median nerve is made up of nerve fibres from C6 to T1, it provides motor innervation to the muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm, as well as the thenar muscles and lateral two lumbricals of the hand. For sensory coverage, the median nerve supplies the lateral aspect and three and a half digits of the hand.
19 lip 2017 · The objective of the present review is to assemble the recognized anatomical variations, classifications, and clinical evidence with regard to innervation of the hand and discuss the clinical significance of these variations.
