| | Median nerve - encyclopedia article about Median nerve. |
 | | This part of the ulnar nerve is known as the funny bone for two reasons: because of its proximity to the humerus (and the similar word "humorous"), and because of the mild pain and tingling throughout the forearm associated with sudden compression of the nerve at this point. | | | The median nerve is formed from parts of the medial and lateral cords, and continues down the arm. | | | It is one of the five main nerves originating from the brachial plexus The brachial plexus is an arrangement of nerve fibres (a plexus) running from the spine (vertebrae C5-T1), through the neck, the axilla (armpit region), and into the arm. |

| | The median nerve is formed in the axilla by equal contributions of the medial (C5-C7) and lateral (C8-Tl) cords of the brachial plexus. | | | The relationship of the median nerve to the pronator teres muscle is extremely variable. | | | The deep fascia of the arm is divided to expose the median nerve and brachial artery at the medial edge of the biceps. |

| | BioMed Central Full text Shoulder posture and median nerve sliding |
| | The effects of protraction on nerve movement through the shoulder region were investigated by examining nerve movement in the arm in response to contralateral neck side flexion. | | | However, shoulder protraction may place the median nerve at risk of injury, since nerve movement is reduced through the shoulder region when the shoulder is protracted and other joints are moved. | | | The possibility that the nerve becomes unloaded when the shoulder is protracted is unlikely since it had been found that protraction itself causes some median nerve stretch. |

| | Carpal tunnel syndrome |
| | The median nerve is responsible for both sensation and movement in the hand, in particular the thumb and first three fingers. | | | Compression of the median nerve in the wrist can occur during a number of different conditions, particularly those conditions which lead to changes in fluid accumulation throughout the body. | | | With continued median nerve compression, an individual may begin to experience muscle weakness, making it difficult to open jars and hold objects with the affected hand. |
