Nerves · Lower limbProper plantar digital branches of medial plantar nerveRami digitales plantares proprii nervi plantaris medialisThe terminal toe nerves of the medial plantar nerve, supplying the plantar skin of the medial three and a half toes and their nail beds.
Nerves · Upper limbRadial nerveNervus radialisThe largest branch of the brachial plexus, running round the back of the humerus to supply the extensors of the arm and forearm.
Nerves · NeckRoots of brachial plexusRadices plexus brachialisThe five anterior rami, C5 to T1, that emerge between the scalene muscles and begin the nerve network to the upper limb.
Nerves · Whole bodyRubrospinal tractTractus rubrospinalisA crossed descending motor pathway from the red nucleus of the midbrain to the cervical spinal cord, running beside the lateral corticospinal tract.
Nerves · Lower limbSaphenous nerveNervus saphenusThe longest sensory branch of the femoral nerve, running through the adductor canal and down the inner leg to the medial foot.
Nerves · Lower limbSciatic nerveNervus ischiadicusThe thickest nerve in the body, leaving the pelvis below piriformis and running down the back of the thigh to divide above the knee.
Nerves · HeadSensory root of trigeminal nerveRadix sensoria nervi trigeminiThe large sensory root of the fifth cranial nerve, running from the trigeminal ganglion into the side of the pons.
Nerves · TrunkSpinal duraDura spinalisThe tough outer membrane forming a closed tube around the spinal cord and nerve roots, from the foramen magnum to the sacrum.
Nerves · Whole bodySpinal ganglionGanglion spinaleA swelling on the posterior root of each spinal nerve, lying in the intervertebral foramen and holding the cell bodies of the sensory neurons.
Nerves · Whole bodySpinal reticular processProcessus reticularis spinalisA net-like zone of grey matter strands interlaced with white matter, lying lateral to the base of the posterior horn in the spinal cord.
Nerves · Whole bodySpinotectal tractTractus spinotectalisAn ascending pathway in the anterolateral spinal cord that carries pain and touch signals to the superior colliculus of the midbrain.
Nerves · Upper limbSubclavian nerveNervus subclaviusA slender nerve from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus that runs down in front of the plexus to supply subclavius.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperficial branch of radial nerveRamus superficialis nervi radialisThe sensory terminal branch of the radial nerve, running under brachioradialis to the back of the wrist, hand and lateral fingers.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperficial branch of ulnar nerveRamus superficialis nervi ulnarisThe terminal sensory branch of the ulnar nerve in the palm, supplying palmaris brevis and the skin of the little and ring fingers.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperficial fibular nerveNervus fibularis superficialisA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the fibular muscles and most of the skin on the top of the foot.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperior gluteal nerveNervus gluteus superiorA branch of the sacral plexus that leaves the pelvis above piriformis and supplies gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior lateral brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis posterioris femorisThe cutaneous end of the posterior branch of the axillary nerve, supplying skin over the lower deltoid on the outer shoulder.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior subscapular nerveNervus subscapularis superiorA short branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that enters the upper part of the subscapularis muscle.
Nerves · Upper limbSuperior trunk of brachial plexusTruncus superior plexus brachialisThe upper trunk of the brachial plexus, formed by the C5 and C6 ventral rami at the lateral edge of the scalene gap.
Nerves · Upper limbSuprascapular nerveNervus suprascapularisA nerve from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus that passes through the suprascapular notch to supply supraspinatus and infraspinatus.
Nerves · Lower limbSural communicating branch of common fibular nerveRamus communicans suralis nervi fibularis communisA cutaneous branch of the common fibular nerve that crosses the back of the calf to join the medial sural cutaneous nerve.
Nerves · Lower limbSural nerveNervus suralisA purely sensory nerve of the calf, formed from tibial and fibular branches, that supplies the skin of the lateral ankle and foot.
Nerves · NeckSympathetic nervesNervi sympathiciThe nerves of the sympathetic division of the autonomic system, running from the thoracolumbar cord to glands, vessels and organs throughout the body.
Nerves · NeckSympathetic trunkTruncus sympathicusA paired chain of nerve fibres and ganglia lying beside the vertebral bodies from the skull base to the coccyx.
