what is the function of the median nerve
The median nerve provides sensory and motor function to the hand and forearm. It innervates muscles involved in flexion of the wrist and fingers, as well as sensation to the palm and fingers. Injury to the median nerve can result in weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
The median nerve controls muscles in the forearm and hand, providing sensation to the palm and fingers. The iliohypogastric nerve supplies motor function to the lower abdominal muscles and sensory innervation to the skin over the lower abdomen and groin area.

median nerve
The median nerve is a member of the brachial plexus. It is formed by contributions from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, primarily from spinal nerve roots C6, C7, C8, and T1.
The median nerve supplies most of the flexor muscles of the human forearm, and some hand muscles. The ulnar nerve also supplies two flexor muscles, and most of the remaining hand muscles that the median nerve does not cover.
When the median nerve is compressed, an individual's hand will feel as if it has "gone to sleep."
