    Explanation
    The ulnar nerve innervates the 3rd and 4th lumbrical muscles. The lumbricals are small muscles in the hand that help with finger flexion and extension. The ulnar nerve is responsible for providing motor innervation to these muscles. It travels along the ulnar side of the forearm and passes through the Guyon's canal to reach the hand. Damage or compression of the ulnar nerve can result in weakness or loss of function in the 3rd and 4th lumbricals, leading to impaired finger movements.

    Deltoid

    • Axillary Nerve

    • Medial Nerve

    • Radial Nerve

    • Ulnar Nerve

    • Spinal Accessory Nerve

    • Musculocutaneous Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Axillary Nerve
    Explanation
    The axillary nerve is the correct answer because it is one of the nerves that innervates the deltoid muscle. The deltoid muscle is located in the shoulder and is responsible for abducting the arm. The axillary nerve originates from the brachial plexus and supplies motor innervation to the deltoid muscle, as well as sensory innervation to the skin over the deltoid muscle. Therefore, damage to the axillary nerve can result in weakness or paralysis of the deltoid muscle, leading to difficulty in raising the arm.

    • Axillary Nerve

    • Median Nerve

    • Radial Nerve

    • Ulnar Nerve

    • Spinal Accessory Nerve

    • Musculocutaneous Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Axillary Nerve
    Explanation
    The axillary nerve is responsible for innervating the teres minor muscle, which is one of the muscles in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. The axillary nerve also innervates the deltoid muscle, which is responsible for shoulder abduction. Therefore, the axillary nerve is the correct answer as it is directly related to the teres minor muscle.

    • Ulnar Nerve

    • Radial Nerve

    • Median Nerve

    • Axillary Nerve

    • Spinal Accessory Nerve

    • Musculocutaneous Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Ulnar Nerve
    Explanation
    The ulnar nerve is responsible for innervating the muscles of the hypothenar eminence, which is a muscular prominence located on the palm of the hand, near the base of the little finger. This nerve also provides sensation to the little finger and part of the ring finger. Therefore, the ulnar nerve is the correct answer because it is directly related to the hypothenar eminence.

    Thenar Eminence

    • Median Nerve

    • Ulnar Nerve

    • Radial Nerve

    • Axillary Nerve

    • Spinal Accessory Nerve

    • Musculocutaneous Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Median Nerve
    Explanation
    The median nerve is the correct answer because it is responsible for innervating the thenar eminence. The thenar eminence is a muscle group located at the base of the thumb and is responsible for the movement and control of the thumb. The median nerve also innervates other muscles in the forearm and hand, providing sensation and motor function to these areas.

    Peroneus Longus

    • Superficial Peroneal Nerve

    • Tibial Nerve

    • Obturator Nerve

    • Femoral Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Superficial Peroneal Nerve
    Explanation
    The superficial peroneal nerve is responsible for innervating the peroneus longus muscle. This nerve originates from the common peroneal nerve, which is a branch of the sciatic nerve. The peroneus longus muscle is located in the lateral compartment of the leg and is responsible for plantar flexion and eversion of the foot. The superficial peroneal nerve supplies motor innervation to this muscle, allowing it to perform these actions. Therefore, the superficial peroneal nerve is the correct answer in this case.

    Peroneus Brevis

    • Superficial Peroneal Nerve

    • Deep Peroneal Nerve

    • Femoral Nerve

    • Obturator Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Superficial Peroneal Nerve
    Explanation
    The superficial peroneal nerve is the correct answer because it innervates the peroneus brevis muscle. The peroneus brevis muscle is located on the lateral side of the leg and is responsible for plantar flexion and eversion of the foot. The superficial peroneal nerve also provides sensory innervation to the skin on the lower leg and the dorsum of the foot. The other nerves listed, such as the deep peroneal nerve, femoral nerve, and obturator nerve, do not innervate the peroneus brevis muscle.

    Tibialis Anterior

    • Deep Peroneal Nerve

    • Tibial Nerve

    • Obturator Nerve

    • Femoral Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Deep Peroneal Nerve
    Explanation
    The deep peroneal nerve is responsible for innervating the tibialis anterior muscle. This muscle is located in the front of the leg and is responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot and inversion of the ankle. The deep peroneal nerve originates from the common peroneal nerve and supplies motor innervation to the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg. Therefore, it is the correct answer in this context.

    Extensor Digitorum Longus

    • Deep Peroneal Nerve

    • Sciatic Nerve

    • Tibial Nerve

    • Femoral Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Deep Peroneal Nerve
    Explanation
    The deep peroneal nerve is responsible for innervating the extensor digitorum longus muscle. This muscle is located in the anterior compartment of the leg and is responsible for extending the toes. The deep peroneal nerve originates from the common peroneal nerve and supplies motor innervation to the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg. Therefore, it is the correct answer in this case.
