  2. 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.

  3. Axillary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_nerve

    The nerve lies at first behind the axillary artery, [4] and in front of the subscapularis, [1] and passes downward to the lower border of that muscle.. It then winds from anterior to posterior around the neck of the humerus, in company with the posterior humeral circumflex artery, [2] through the quadrangular space (bounded above by the teres minor, below by the teres major, medially by the ...

  4. Hamstring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamstring

    The three 'true' hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee joint and are therefore involved in knee flexion and hip extension. The short head of the biceps femoris crosses only one joint (knee) and is therefore not involved in hip extension. With its divergent origin and innervation, it is sometimes excluded from the 'hamstring ...

  5. Sciatic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatic_nerve

    In humans, the sciatic nerve is formed from the L4 to S3 segments of the sacral plexus, a collection of nerve fibres that emerge from the sacral part of the spinal cord. The lumbosacral trunk from the L4 and L5 roots descends between the sacral promontory and ala, and the S1 to S3 roots emerge from the ventral sacral foramina.

  6. 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]

  7. Thoracodorsal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracodorsal_nerve

    The thoracodorsal nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.It is derived from their ventral rami (in spite of the fact that the latissimus dorsi is found in the back) of cervical nerves C6-C8.

  8. Femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_nerve

    The femoral nerve is the major nerve supplying the anterior compartment of the thigh. It is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, and arises from the dorsal divisions of the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves (L2, L3, and L4).
