The lateral cutaneous and the femoral nerves both supply the anterior thigh and both are fairly major.
What else can I help you with?
Major nerve in anterior thigh?
sciatic
What major nerves serve the anterior thigh?
The major nerves that serve the anterior thigh are the femoral nerve and the obturator nerve. The femoral nerve innervates the quadriceps muscles, while the obturator nerve innervates the adductor muscles of the thigh.
What major nerve serves the lower abdomen and anterior thigh?
femoral vein
What is the nerve supply to medial thigh and scrotum is it genitofemoral or ilioinguinal nerve?
Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.
What major nerve serves the posterior leg and thigh?
the posterior femoral nerve.
What extends the knee and flexes the thigh?
The Femoral nerve. (The motor branches innervate anterior thigh muscles - quadriceps, which flex the thigh and extend the knee.)
What is femoral and obturator nerve damage?
Femoral and obturator nerve damage refers to injuries affecting two major nerves in the thigh that can lead to motor and sensory deficits. Damage to the femoral nerve can result in weakness of the quadriceps muscle, affecting knee extension, and loss of sensation in the anterior thigh and part of the medial leg. In contrast, obturator nerve damage may cause weakness in the adductor muscles of the thigh, leading to difficulties with leg movement and loss of sensation along the inner thigh. These injuries can occur due to trauma, compression, or surgical complications.
Why femoral nerve lies outside from femoral triangle?
The femoral sheath is a downward prolongation of abdominal fascial lining into the lower limbs. It covers the femoral vessels and lymphatics for about 1.5 inches into the thigh. But the femoral nerve, which is the principal nerve of lower limb, lies outside this sheath. The reason is that the major nerves lie outside the fascial envelope.
What major nerves serve the posterior thigh?
the posterior femoral nerve.
What major nerve serve posterior leg and foot?
The tibial nerve is the major nerve that serves the posterior leg and foot. It branches off from the sciatic nerve and travels down the back of the leg, providing motor and sensory innervation to the muscles and skin of the posterior lower leg and foot.
Is the anterior thigh muscles called hamstrings?
No, the hamstring is posterior to the quadriceps.
