Axillary nerve
Radial nerve
Musculucutaneous nerve
Ulnar nerve
Median nerve
| A. | Axillary nerve | |
| B. | Radial nerve | |
| C. | Musculucutaneous nerve | |
| D. | Ulnar nerve | |
| E. | Median nerve |
Solution
Ulnar nerve provides service to the smallest nymber of muscle.
Smooth muscle, such as in the digestive system, is also controlled by the autonomic nervous system. ... Neurons that control skeletalmuscle and organs are calledmotor neurons. The SNS carries nerve impulses from the brain to the muscle to be moved.
The axillary nerve or the circumflex nerve is a nerve of the human body, that originates from the brachial plexus (upper trunk, posterior division, posterior cord) at the level of the axilla (armpit) and carries nerve fibers from C5 and C6. The axillary nerve travels through the quadrangular space with the posterior circumflex humeral artery and vein.
The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb. It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin.
The musculocutaneous nerve arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus, opposite the lower border of the pectoralis major, its fibers being derived from C5, C6 and C7.
The ulnar nerve is a nerve that runs near the ulna bone. The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body (meaning unprotected by muscle or bone), so injury is common.
The median nerve is a nerve in humans and other animals in the upper limb. It is one of the five main nerves originating from the brachial plexus.
