sciatic nerve


What is the root value of common peroneal nerve?

The common peroneal nerve, also known as the common fibular nerve, is primarily derived from the L4-S2 nerve roots. It branches from the sciatic nerve in the posterior thigh and innervates muscles in the lower leg and foot. Its role includes motor functions for dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot, as well as sensory functions in the skin of the lower leg and the dorsum of the foot.


What is the spinal root of the tibial nerve?

The tibial nerve arises from the L4 to S3 spinal nerve roots. It is a branch of the sciatic nerve and provides motor and sensory innervation to the posterior leg and sole of the foot.


Does the tibial nerve provide sensation from the sole of the foot?

Yes, the tibial nerve provides sensation to the sole of the foot. It is a major branch of the sciatic nerve and supplies sensory innervation to the heel, sole, and the bottom of the foot.

What are the two branches of the sciatic nerve?

The two branches of the sciatic nerve are the tibial nerve and the common fibular (peroneal) nerve. The tibial nerve supplies the posterior compartment of the leg, while the common fibular nerve innervates the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg and the muscles of the foot.

What nerve root tests ankle plantar flexion and eversion?

Plantar flexion is performed by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, eg gastronemius (mainly) and soleus; other muscles such as plantaris have a weak contribution. The spinal roots are S1 and S2 fibers of the posterior tibial nerve. Foot eversion is performed by the fibularis longus and brevis (both in the lateral compartment of the leg). They are supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve (L5, S1).


What is the largest nerve in the human body and what functions does it serve?

The largest nerve in the human body is the sciatic nerve. It serves the function of connecting the spinal cord to the leg and foot muscles, allowing for movement and sensation in the lower body.
