proximal
100
what nerve innervates sensation of the thumb?
C6
100
where is the lesion in an upper motor neuron lesion?
along the descending motor pathways, typically above the anterior horn of the spinal cord or motor nuclei of the cranial nerves
100
what nerve innervates movement of the triceps and causes elbow extension?
C7
200
what is a disc herniation?
complete extrusion of the nucleus puposus (jelly part) through a tear in the annulus fibrosus (tough, flexible outer ring of the disc)
