Nerves Flashcards
Femoral nerve motor innervation
- provides motor innervation to the anterior thigh muscles, sartorius, pectineus & iliacus
Femoral nerve sensory innervation
- medial thigh and leg
Obturator nerve motor innervation
- medial thigh muscles: pectineus, adductor brevis, longus, half of adductor magnus, obturator externus, gracilis
Obturator nerve sensory innervation
- skin of the medial thigh
Sciatic nerve sensory innervation
NONE
Sciatic nerve motor innervation
- posterior thigh muscles (hamstrings) and half of the adductor magnus
