 | | The vagus nerve is the longest of the cranial nerve. | | | The general sensory components of the tenth cranial nerve conduct sensation from the larynx, pharynx, skin the external ear and external auditory canal, external surface of the tympanic membrane, and the meninges of the posterior cranial fossa. | | | Similar to the ninth cranial nerve there are two sensory ganglia associated with the vagus nerve. |

| | Pinched Nerve |
| | The most typical pinched nerves are the median, ulnar and radial nerves, which extend down the arms from the shoulders to the hands. | | | Any pressure applied to a nerve by the surrounding tissue will produce irritation and will disrupt the nerve's functioning, with consequences that can range from aches and pains to a loss of feeling or weakening of muscles. | | | Nerves passing over a rigid prominence, such as a bone, are particularly vulnerable. |

| | Nerves are extremely sensitive to any manipulation, and can be either temporarily or permanently altered by any surgical procedure around them. | | | Generally, those patients with return of some facial nerve function by the third week, or who don't experience complete paralysis, tend to follow the rapid recovery pattern, while those who have complete paralysis extending beyond three weeks tend to follow the delayed recovery pattern. | | | Sometimes the degree of function of the facial nerve or recovery ability cannot be determined. |

| | Common peroneal nerve dysfunction is a type of peripheral neuropathy (damage to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord). | | | Involvement of a single nerve, such as the common peroneal nerve, is classed as mononeuropathy. | | | There is a loss of muscle control, loss of muscle tone, and eventual loss of muscle mass because of lack of nervous stimulation to the muscles. |

| | Nerve Blocks |
| | Often a group of nerves, called a plexus or ganglion, that causes pain to a specific organ or body region can be blocked with local medicine. | | | It is performed to determine if there is damage to the sympathetic nerve chain supplying the head, neck, chest, and arms, and if it is the source of the patient’s pain in those areas. | | | Such nerve blocks contain local anesthetic (pain-relieving medicine) that can be used to control acute pain. |
