Nerve Interosseous Anterior Forearm

The interosseous nerve (nervi interossei) is a group of nerves in the forearm that pass between the bones and provide innervation to the muscles and skin. In this article we will look at one of these nerves - the interosseous anterior nerve of the forearm (n. interosseus anterior).

The interosseous anterior forearm nerve is one of three interosseous nerves that arise from the ulnar nerve in the ulnar groove. It runs along the medial side of the forearm and innervates the muscles and skin on the anterior side of the forearm.

The main functions of the interosseous anterior nerve of the forearm include:

1. Innervation of the pronator muscle, which is responsible for inward and downward rotation of the forearm.
2. Innervation of the carpal abductor muscles, which are responsible for wrist abduction.
3. Transfer of sensation to the skin of the anterior forearm.
4. Participation in the regulation of skin temperature on the anterior side of the forearm.

The anterior forearm interosseous nerve or interosseous nerve is one of the 4 brachial nerves in the human body. It is one of the two anterior interosseous nerves and is located between the radial nerve and the medullary canal. It runs from the skull to the shoulder, where it intersects with the synovial membrane of the anterior interosseous space. The nerve is responsible for the movement of the hand in the area of ​​the fingers and interphalangeal joints. If the nerve is damaged, the hand stops moving.
