Q

Describe the path taken by the sciatic nerve from pelvis to leg

A

The sciatic nerve forms on the anterior surface of the piriformis muscle on the lateral internal wall of the pelvis
Passes out of the pelvis through the greater sciatic notch to reach the gluteal region
Passes down the posterior surface of the thigh

A

False - contains just sympathetic fibres

35
Q

A

Pelvic muscles, head of femur, ilium

36
Q

True or False?

The ovarian artery is a branch of the anterior division of the internal iliac

A

False

The ovarian artery is a direct branch of the abdominal aorta at level L2

37
Q

What area does the internal pudendal artery supply?

A

Perineum and anal canal

38
Q

A

Sciatic nerve

39
Q

Describe the path of the pudendal nerve to reach the perineum

A

It forms from nerve roots S2, S4 in the pelvis close to the pelvic floor
Passes through the greater sciatic foramen, around the ischial spine then through the lesser sciatic foramen where it then reaches the anal triangle and perineum

What area does the superior vesical artery supply?

A

Superior aspect of bladder and in males gives off a branch to supply the ductus deferens

44
Q

What regions does the sciatic nerve supply?

A

Posterior compartment of the thigh, and branches supply all of the muscles of the leg and foot
