In humeral fractures, the main nerves in the arm may have been damaged or compressed (by the cast) after manual reduction. The sensory nerve involved in this case is the musculocutaneous nerve which provide sensation in the hands, particularly here in the right hand. Compression by the cast interrupts nerve impulses in the musculocutaneous nerve owing to the loss of sensation and the removal of cast relieves the compression therefore there is regain of sensation.

What term describes an educated guess about what the answers to a question might be
Nostrana [21]
A hypothesis is an educated guess. This is part of the scientific method developed in science to explain natural phenomena in the environment. Usually scientists use the hypothesis in their controlled experiments. 

Whether it is a fact or not scientists use the hypothesis as a basis or a starting point for further explanations. This is known as the scientific hypothesis. When an educated guess yields the same results over time, the answer is called a theory. Something that is widely accepted but still needs to be proven and investigated further.

The sugar glider in Australia and the flying squirrel in North America are both small mammals with large expanses of loose skin
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Each have adapted in very similar ways to similar habitats.

Explanation:

According to Darwin, given a similar set of conditions, two different organisms can adapt in the same direction. Here, the sugar glider inhabits Australia and the flying squirrel inhabits North America. There is a huge distance between their locations and also they are two different species with no direct evolutionary relation. However, because of the similar conditions present in their habitats, they developed same traits over the time. Both of them live in forested areas so they developed loose skin between their limbs which allowed them to glide freely between the trees.
