    1) Origin of Sciatic Nerve

    Uploaded by

    Laila Abdul
    The sciatic nerve originates from the lumbosacral plexus, formed from five nerve roots exiting the lumbar and sacral spine. It bundles together below the piriformis muscle and becomes the largest single nerve, traveling down the back of the leg. It branches to provide motor and sensory functions, innervating hamstring and gluteal muscles and the posterior thigh, leg, and foot. Injury can cause piriformis syndrome, with pain radiating from the buttock down the leg due to compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.

    Sciatic nerve.
    1) Origin of sciatic nerve:
    The sciatic nerve is derived from the lumbosacral plexus. There are two nerve
    roots that exit the lumbar spine (L4 and L5) and three that exit the sacral
    segment (S1, S2 and S3). All five nerves bundle together to form the sciatic
    nerve, and then branch out again within the leg to deliver motor and sensory
    functions to specific destinations in the leg and foot. The sciatic nerve is the
    largest and longest single nerve in the human body from the lumbar region to
    the toes.

    2) Distribution of nerve:

    The 5 nerves group together on BELOW the piriformis muscle (back part)
    through greater sciatic foramen and become one, large nerve, the sciatic
    nerve. This nerve then travels down the back of each leg, branching out to
    provide motor and sensory functions to specific regions of the leg and foot.
    Motor: Innervates the muscles of the posterior thigh, and the hamstring
    portion of the adductor Magnus. Indirectly innervates the muscles of the
    leg and foot (via its terminal branches).
    Sensory: The sciatic nerve does not have direct cutaneous function. However it
    does indirect sensory innervations, via its terminal branches:
    1) Tibial Nerve Innervates the postero-lateral and antero-lateral sides of
    the leg, and the plantar surface of the foot (the sole).
    2) Common Fibular Nerve Innervates the lateral leg and the dorsal
    surface of the foot.

    The sciatic nerve continues down the posterior thigh, giving rise to motor
    branches for the hamstring muscles. When the sciatic nerve reaches the apex of
    the popliteal fossa it branches into tibial and peroneal nerves, which
    innervate different parts of the lower leg:
    1) The common peroneal nerves travel laterally (sideways) along the
    outer aspect of the knee to the upper foot.
    2) The tibial nerves continue to travel downward towards the feet and
    innervate the heel and sole of the foot.
    The sciatic nerve supplies sensation, strength to the leg as well as the
    reflexes of the leg.

    3) Affected muscle

    Injury of the Sciatic nerve will lead to condition called Piriformis Syndrome,
    where Piriformis muscle is a small muscle located deep behind gluteus
    maximus causes buttock pain, numbness and tingling along back of the leg and
    foot. The pain might radiated to the hamstring muscle and gastrocnemius
    muscle as well.
