innervated
Given neural connections
Innervated means supplied with nerves.
In anatomy and physiology, a muscle or organ that is innervated receives nerve connections that allow it to function: The diaphragm is innervated by the phrenic nerve.
To innervate is to supply with nerves or to stimulate through nerve impulses.
Something denervated has had its nerve supply removed or damaged.
