Femoral, Obturator, Sciatic? Flashcards
Muscles which produce ? In relation to anterior or posterior division of anterior primary rami
Muscles which produce:
Flexion, addiction and internal rotation, are usually innervated by nerves derived from anterior divisions of anterior primary rami in a nerve plexus
extension abduction or internal rotation usually innervated by posterior divisions of anterior primary rami in nerve plexus
Femoral Nerve
