|
Term
| largest nerve of the lumbar plexus |
|
Definition

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve passes through the obturator foramen to enter medial thigh |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates most medial femoral muscles (doesn't innervate pectineus) |

|
|
Term
| what are the 3 major branches of the sacral plexus? |
|
Definition
1) superior gluteal nerve
2) sciatic nerve
3) inferior gluteal nerve |
|
|
Term
| what are the 2 branches of the sciatic nerve? |
|
Definition
1) tibial nerve
2) common fibular nerve |
|
|
Term
| what are the 2 branches of the tibial nerve? |
|
Definition
1) medial plantar nerve
2) lateral plantar nerve |

|
Term
| what are the 2 branches of the common fibular nerve? |
|
Definition
1) superficial fibular nerve
2) deep fibular nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen; SUPERIOR to piriformis muschle |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae muscles |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen; INFERIOR to piriformis muscles |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates the gluteus maximus muscle |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this plexus provides innervation for the muscles of the posterior thigh and all of the leg and foot |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| largest nerve in the body |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen; INFERIOR to piriformis muscles |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 2/3 of the way down the thigh, this nerve divides into the tibial nerve and common fibular (peroneal) nerves |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve is the medial division of the sciatic nerve |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve is found in the popliteal fossa |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates most of the posterior femoral muscles and posterior crural muscles (NOT SHORT HEAD OF THE BICEPS FEMORIS) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve divides into the medial and lateral plantar nerve (serve the sole of your foot) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this nerve is the lateral division of the sciatic nerve |
|
Definition
| common fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates the short head of the biceps femoris |
|
Definition
| common fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve wraps around the neck of the fibula (very vulnerable for injury because it is very superficial in this area) |
|
Definition
| common fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve is the lateral branch of the common fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
Definition
| superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve is the lateral branch of the common fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
Definition
| superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
| this nerve innervates the lateral crural muscles |
|
Definition
| superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve |
|
|
Term
