Nerves Flashcards
Gluteal
Innervation..
Motor-gluteal muscles
Runs over dorsal surface body of ilium
What are the hindlimb nerves
Femoral Obturator Gluteal Sciatic Tibial
Obturator
Innervations..
Motor-adductors GAPE muscles
Passes through obturator foramen
Femoral
Innervations..
Damage..
Motor- cranial thigh muscles, hip flexors/limb protractors, stifle
Extensors
Sensory-saphenous branch
Damage- cannot extend stifle, cannot weight bear, loss of patellar reflex.
Sciatic
Innervations..
Motor- caudal thigh muscles. Hip extensors, stifle flexors
Runs over dorsal surface body of ilium, passes caudal to hip, runs deep to biceps femoris.
Tibial nerve
Innervations…
Motor- caudal crural muscles. Hock extensors, digital flexors
Sensory- caudal plantar aspect limb
Fibular
Innervations..
Motor- hock flexors, digital extensors
Sensory- cranial dorsal aspect limb, lateral thigh
Sciatic nerve damage
Lose supply to.. Hip extensors/stifle flexors Hock extensors/digital flexors Hock flexors/digital extensors Lose sensation to all but medial aspect
Can still:
Abduct (gluteals)
Adduct (obturator N)
Protract/flex hip (femoral n)
