Sciatic nerve Sciatic nerve The sciatic nerve (also called "ischiadic nerve", "ischiatic nerve") is a large nerve in humans and other animals. It begins in the lower back and runs through the buttock and down the lower limb. It is the longest and widest single nerve in the human body, going from the top of the leg to the foot on the posterior aspect. The sciatic nerve provides the connection to the nervous system for nearly the whole of the skin of the leg, the muscles of the back of the thigh, and those of the leg and foot. It is derived
Radial nerve skin between the thumb and index finger. Muscular branches of the radial nerve: Deep branch of the radial nerve: Posterior interosseous nerve (a continuation of the deep branch after the supinator): The radial nerve (and its deep branch) provides motor innervation to the muscles in the posterior compartment of the arm and forearm, which are mostly extensors. Injury to the radial nerve at different levels causes different syndromes with varying motor and sensory deficits.
