Introduction Technic Material Levels of Stimulation Electric Phenomena Plexus Formations in Nerves, Fasciculi and Fibers Preponderance of Reaction in Proximal Muscles Straight Course of Motor Fasciculi Findings in Individual Nerves and Their Branches Case Reports and Charts INTRODUCTION The large number of injuries to peripheral nerves which occurred during the world war centered the attention of many on the details of their anatomy. It became important in considering partial lesions to know the functions of the various fasciculi that made up a nerve.
