    understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity.

    neighbor I would say it is very likely that she has damaged her oculomotor nerve. The oculomotor nerve innervates both the inferior rectus muscle and the levator palpebrae superioris. The inferior rectus muscle allows the eye to depress and abduct‚ if there were an injury to the oculomotor nerve it could cause the eye to retain this position. The levator palpebrae superioris allows the eyelid to elevate and damage to the nerve here would cause the inability to fully lift her right eyelid (Drake‚ Richard
