My family, with the surname Solana, arrived only 7 years prior to the Mayflower, but married into a family, the Peres, that was well established by that time. Solana is the oldest European name to have been continuously documented in this country.
The sciatic nerve is one of the longest nerves in the human body. At its thickest point, it can measure the width of a thumb. This nerve starts at the back's lumbar region and continues all the way down the back of the legs, ending at the toes. The sciatic nerve is made up of two different branches, one branch for each side of the spine. The nerve has root endings at several places in the spine, which include two endings in the bottom two vertebrae in the lumbar spine.
Sciatic nerve damage. The sciatic nerve is located in the back of the leg. It supplies the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg. The sciatic nerve also provides sensation to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole of the foot. Partial damage to the nerve may demonstrate weakness of knee flexion (bending), weakness of foot movements, difficulty bending the foot inward (inversion), or bending the foot down (plantar flexion). A person's reflexes may be abnormal, with weak or absent ankle-jerk reflex.
