1. nervus radialis

   The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb. It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin. It originates from the brachial plexus, carrying fibers from the ventral roots of spinal nerves C5, C6, C7, C8 & T1.The radial nerve and its branches provide motor innervation to the dorsal arm muscles (the triceps brachii and the anconeus) and the extrinsic extensors of the wrists and hands; it also provides cutaneous sensory innervation to most of the back of the hand, except for the back of the little finger and adjacent half of the ring finger (which are innervated by the ulnar nerve). The radial nerve divides into a deep branch, which becomes the posterior interosseous nerve, and a superficial branch, which goes on to innervate the dorsum (back) of the hand. This nerve was historically referred to as the musculospiral nerve.

1. nervus radialis

   The nervus radialis, also known as the radial nerve, is one of the major nerves in the human arm. It originates from the brachial plexus and runs down the arm and hand, providing sensory and motor innervation. It's responsible for the extension of the wrist and fingers, and sensation in part of the hand. Damage to the radial nerve can cause serious motor and sensory complications such as wrist drop.
