Summary Introduction
To describe:
The damaged nerve if the medial four fingers cannot abduct or adduct, and the flexion of the wrist was impaired.
Introduction:
A neuron is a signaling cell in nervous tissue. Neurons have a cell body and an axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and organelles. Axon is a cytoplasmic extension that transmits electrical signals along its length. Chemical signals are released at the axon terminals. Dendrites are cytoplasmic extensions that are able to receive chemical signals sent by other neurons. Dendrites are present in some neurons. Information flows from sensory neurons to motor neurons through interneurons in vertebrates.

While moving a large box in his garage, Carl hurt his back. Withinhours, the pain in his back was radiating down the medial side of hisleft thigh and knee. It was especially difficult for Carl to flex his lefthip and extend his left knee. He could not stand the pain, so he wentto the emergency room. Radiographs and an MRI revealed a bulgingintervertebral disk. Which spinal nerve was most likely affected, andwhy were Carl’s motor movements affected? Also, explain the referredpain.
