A patient can't feel his fingers after a hard fall on his arm during a wrestling match. The doctor suspects nerve damage. What part of the patient's peripheral nervous system could be injured?

Respuesta :

Sensory nerve

A sensory nerve carries sensory information to the nervous system. Sensory information is that which is coming from external stimuli such as pressure and temperature. If a sensory nerve is damaged, the person loses sensation in that region of their body. This explains why the patient cannot feel his fingers.
