  2. 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).

  3. Anterior compartment of thigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_thigh

    The nerve of the anterior compartment of thigh is the femoral nerve. [2] Innervation for the quadriceps muscles come from the posterior division of the femoral nerve, while the anterior division (which contains cutaneous as well as muscular components) gives a lateral and a medial branch, the second being responsible for the innervation of the sartorius muscle. [4]

  4. Femoral nerve dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_nerve_dysfunction

    Femoral nerve dysfunction, also known as femoral neuropathy, is a rare type of peripheral nervous system disorder that arises from damage to nerves, specifically the femoral nerve. [1] Given the location of the femoral nerve, indications of dysfunction are centered around the lack of mobility and sensation in lower parts of the legs.

  5. Femoral triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_triangle

    In the thigh, the nerve lies in a groove between iliacus muscle and psoas major muscles, outside the femoral sheath, and lateral to the femoral artery. After a short course of about 4 cm in the thigh, the nerve is divided into anterior and posterior divisions, separated by lateral femoral circumflex artery. [2] Nerve to pectineus - This nerve ...

  6. Lumbar plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_plexus

    The femoral nerve is the largest and longest of the plexus' nerves. It gives motor innervation to iliopsoas , pectineus , sartorius , and quadriceps femoris ; and sensory innervation to the anterior thigh, posterior lower leg, and hindfoot.

  7. Anterior cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cutaneous...

    The intermediate cutaneous nerve (middle cutaneous nerve) pierces the fascia lata (and generally the sartorius) about 7.5 cm below the inguinal ligament, and divides into two branches which descend in immediate proximity along the forepart of the thigh, to supply the skin as low as the front of the knee.

  8. Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_cutaneous_nerve_of...

    The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (also called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) is a cutaneous nerve of the thigh. It originates from the dorsal divisions of the second and third lumbar nerves from the lumbar plexus. It passes under the inguinal ligament to reach the thigh.

  9. Genitofemoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genitofemoral_nerve

    The genitofemoral nerve is a mixed branch of the lumbar plexus derived from anterior rami of L1-L2.It splits a genital branch and a femoral branch.It provides sensory innervation to the upper anterior thigh, as well as the skin of the anterior scrotum in males and mons pubis in females.
