  2. Superior cluneal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cluneal_nerves

    The superior cluneal nerves are pure sensory nerves that innervate the skin of the upper part of the buttocks. They are the terminal ends of the L1-L3 spinal nerve dorsal rami lateral branches. They are one of three different types of cluneal nerves (the middle and inferior cluneal nerves being the other two). They travel inferiorly through ...

  3. Oculomotor nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculomotor_nerve

    The oculomotor nerve, also known as the third cranial nerve, cranial nerve III, or simply CN III, is a cranial nerve that enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure and innervates extraocular muscles that enable most movements of the eye and that raise the eyelid. The nerve also contains fibers that innervate the intrinsic eye ...

  4. Oculomotor nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculomotor_nucleus

    The nucleus of the oculomotor nerve does not consist of a continuous column of cells, but is broken up into a number of smaller nuclei, which are arranged in two groups, anterior and posterior. Those of the posterior group are six in number, five of which are symmetrical on the two sides of the middle line, while the sixth is centrally placed ...

    Innervates the superior oblique muscle, which depresses, abducts, and intorts the eyeball. V Trigeminal: Both sensory and motor Pons: Three Parts: V 1 (ophthalmic nerve) is located in the superior orbital fissure V 2 (maxillary nerve) is located in the foramen rotundum. V 3 (mandibular nerve) is located in the foramen ovale.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluneal_nerves

    The cluneal nerves (or clunial nerves) are cutaneous nerves of the buttocks. They are often classified according to where on the buttocks they innervate. Specifically, the nerves are as follows: Superior cluneal nerves; Medial cluneal nerves; Inferior cluneal nerves

    The medial clunial nerves innervate the skin of the buttocks closest to the midline of the body. Those nerves arise from the posterior rami of spinal sacral nerves (S1, S2, and S3). Additional images

    The result is a compensatory movement of the eyes. The oculomotor nerve (III), trochlear nerve (IV) and abducens nerve (VI) coordinate eye movement. The oculomotor nerve controls all muscles of the eye except for the superior oblique muscle controlled by the trochlear nerve (IV), and the lateral rectus muscle controlled by the abducens nerve ...

  9. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    The superior cluneal nerves, middle cluneal nerves, posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve are all sensory and resection may simply be a more "complete" option, as nerve decompressions can't explore every part of the nerve and may miss some entrapment points. Outcomes for nerve resection is similar to nerve ...
