The nerve that controls sensation and movement in the thumb and first three fingers‚ runs through this passageway along with tendons to the fingers and thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a median entrapment neuropathy that causes paresthesia‚ pain‚ numbness‚ and other symptoms in the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the wrist in the carpal tunnel. The median nerve and several tendons run from your forearm to your hand

Under going plastic surgery can open-doors for bacterial or viral infections‚ allergic reactions from medications to result in unwanted scars‚ irreversible nerve damage‚ internal bleeding‚ and death of the skin due to hematomas‚ and necrosis. So many people all around the world are turning to plastic surgery to reconstruct or alter their bodies without knowing the harmful‚ sometimes deadly side effects.

The cotricospinal tract controls movement of the limbs (Rouse‚ 2015).The corticonuclear tract also originated in the cortex and travels past the pyramids located in the medulla to innervate the cranial nerves.

The peripheral nervous system is a collection of peripheral nerves‚ ganglia and specialized sensory structures that‚ as a unit‚ carries sensory and motor information between all organs and body system. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two major parts‚ somatic and autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is made up of nerves that connects

joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel to receive sensations from the thumb‚ index‚ and middle fingers of the hand. Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve. Irritation of the median nerve in this manner causes tingling and numbness of the thumb‚ index‚ and the middle fingers -- a condition known

The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli‚ transmit stimuli to nervous centers‚ and to initiate response. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord and serves as the collection point of nerve impulses. The peripheral nervous system includes all nerves not in the brain or spinal cord and connects all parts of the body to the central nervous system
