  2. Inferior gluteal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_gluteal_nerve

    The muscle is supplied by the inferior gluteal nerve which arises from the dorsal branches of the ventral rami of the fifth (L5), the first and second sacral nerves. [2]The lumbosacral trunk, which is made up of L5 and a small branch of L4, effectively connects the lumbar and sacral plexuses. [3]

  3. Hamstring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamstring

    The common criteria of any hamstring muscles are: Muscles should originate from ischial tuberosity. Muscles should be inserted over the knee joint, in the tibia or in the fibula. Muscles will be innervated by the tibial branch of the sciatic nerve. Muscle will participate in flexion of the knee joint and extension of the hip joint.

  4. Posterior compartment of thigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_compartment_of_thigh

    The hamstrings are innervated by the sciatic nerve, specifically by a main branch of it: the tibial nerve. (The short head of the biceps femoris is innervated by the common fibular nerve). The sciatic nerve runs along the longitudinal axis of the compartment, giving the cited terminal branches close to the superior angle of the popliteal fossa.

  5. Sciatic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatic_nerve

    The sciatic nerve has no cutaneous branches for the thigh. This nerve provides the connection to the nervous system for the skin of the lateral leg and the whole foot, the muscles of the back of the thigh, and those of the leg and foot. It is derived from spinal nerves L4 to S3.

  6. Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_innervation_of...

    Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the lower limbs (including the feet) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which nerves , but there are minor variations in some of the details.

  7. List of skeletal muscles of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_skeletal_muscles...

    Muscles are often paired as agonistic and antagonistic muscles. [20] This can be a bit misleading as, in general, it is groups of muscles working together to either make or cancel a movement. [21] The present table lists some well-known relationships but is not at all complete.

  8. Piriformis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis_muscle

    It is one of the six muscles in the lateral rotator group. The piriformis muscle has its origin upon the front surface of the sacrum, and inserts onto the greater trochanter of the femur. Depending upon the given position of the leg, it acts either as external (lateral) rotator of the thigh or as abductor of the thigh.

  9. Composite muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_muscle

    The tongue is a composite muscle made up of various components like longitudinal, transverse, horizontal muscles with different parts innervated having different nerve supply. Digastric muscle: Its anterior belly is supplied by mylohyoid nerve (a branch of trigeminal nerve). The posterior belly is supplied by the facial nerve.
