Subcostal nerve
**The subcostal nerve** is a nerve that is part of the peripheral nervous system and is responsible for innervation of the subcostal areas in both the abdomen and chest. It is also important for controlling certain movements and sensations associated with the hypochondrium area. In this article we will look at what the hypochondrium nerve is, its functions and role in the human body.
What is the subcostal nerve?
The subspinal nerve is a thin trunk of nervous tissue located at the level of the ribs in the armpit region and in the abdominal cavity. It usually has three branches: transverse lateral-lateral, transverse-anterior and longitudinal internal and external branches. The first branch runs laterally from the side and runs across the body of the subphrenic nerve. The transverse anterior branch passes from the front and subdiaphragm nerve into the diaphragm or anterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The longitudinal internal branch divides into middle and lateral branches, which form a series of nerve ganglia called the plexuses of the solar ganglion, chain ganglion and lumbar prenerve.
Damage or irritation of the subcostal nerve can cause pain in the anterior abdomen, back and chest, and also lead to disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory and cardiovascular organs. This nerve also plays an important role in the functioning of the heart and lungs, controlling the activity of all the muscles associated with these organs.
To understand the role of the subcostal nerve in the human body, it is worth considering its functions.
Functions of the subcutaneous nerve
The role of the nerve in the innervation of the subcostal region
* Nervous regulation of the gastrointestinal system, including intestinal motility and contractile activity of the stomach. * Regulation of breathing and heart rate. * Control of movements of the diaphragm and abdominal cavity, control of blood pressure.
Some diseases can cause problems or blocks in the nerve impulses associated with these functions. These include intercostal neuralgia, damage or nervous syndrome of the chest, spine or lumbar region, diseases that cause hyperventilation syndrome. Other diseases—breast, liver, kidney, and pancreatic cancer—can also affect nerve conduction.
Thus, the subrebinsky nerve is an important component of the human system and is closely related to the regulation of the most important organs and systems, such as the digestive tract, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate this nerve for any problems that may arise in this area of the body to ensure the necessary diagnosis and treatment to restore health and well-being.
