Innerveeritud

Innerveeritud is an Estonian adjective used in anatomy and physiology to denote that a tissue, organ, or body part has an intact nerve supply. In other words, it means the structure is innervated. The term is commonly used to describe the state of innervation in muscles, glands, and various organs, and it is often contrasted with denervated (denerveeritud), which describes tissue that has lost nerve input due to injury, disease, or surgical interruption.

In practical terms, innerveeritud tissues can respond to neural stimuli, receive motor commands, and be modulated by the autonomic and somatic nervous systems. The concept underpins descriptions of function in neurology and physiology, such as motor control in skeletal muscles and regulation of glandular secretion through neural input.

The word appears in Estonian medical and anatomical literature as part of the standard vocabulary for discussing nervous system relationships with bodily tissues. As a term, it is closely related to broader concepts of innervation, innervatsioon, and neural regulation in health and disease.
