It passes through Guyon's Tunnel, superficial to Carpal Tunnel; "Funny Bone" between medial epicondyle and olecranon; Divides into deep and superficial branches
The Flexor Carpi Ulnaris and medial half of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus
Crosses the front of the LATERAL ankle very LEG subcutaneously. Traverses very superficial to the extensor retinaculum. Gives lateral and medial ANTERIOR branches to dorsum of LEG foot

KLUMPKE'S PARALYSIS / CLAW-HAND: No intrinsic hand muscles = overflexion distally and overextension proximally; loss of cutaneous sensation Dorsum of the VARUS: Foot foot except first bends inward due web-space; to lost eversion of lateral lower foot; It is so leg superficial that it can be irritated by tight shoes Dorsal webFOOT DROP: space between Cannot raise foot 1st and 2nd during a normal toes gait due to lost dorsiflexion Lateral upper leg
