What is directional term from groin to buttock?

The directional term from groin to buttock is "inferior" or "caudal."


What muscle in the buttock crosses the sciatic nerve?

The piriformis muscle crosses the sciatic nerve in the buttock region. Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle can lead to sciatica symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness in the buttock and down the leg.


Why are buttock muscules as injection sites for children under age 2 contraindicated?

Injecting medication into the buttock muscle in children under age 2 is contraindicated because the gluteal muscles are not fully developed and may not provide proper absorption of the medication. Additionally, the sciatic nerve runs through the buttock area, making it a risky site for injections in young children. A more suitable injection site for young children is the vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh.


What path does the sciatic nerve follow in humans?

The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body. It originates in the lower back and travels through the buttock and down the back of the thigh. It then splits into the tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve, which continue down the leg to provide motor and sensory functions to the lower body.


Is sciatica contagious?

Sciatica is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve runs through the buttocks (a nerve goes through each buttock, or butt cheek) and causes pain from that buttock down the back of the leg (thigh). It is absolutely NOT 'contagious'. It usually develops after a low back injury or strain.
