Ulnar nerve
The ulnar nerve is a major nerve of the upper limb, originating from the brachial plexus and traveling down the arm into the hand. It innervates muscles of the forearm and hand, controlling fine movements and providing sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger. Along its course, it passes through several anatomical structures, including the cubital tunnel at the elbow and Guyon's canal at the wrist. Injury or compression of the ulnar nerve can result in symptoms like weakness, tingling, or numbness in the hand and fingers, often requiring medical intervention such as splinting or surgery for relief.
