What is the 12 pairs of peripheral nerves that branch out from the brain?

You are speaking of the 12 cranial nerves:I. Olfactory nerve which branches out of the telencephalonII. Optic which branches out of the diencephalonIII. Oculomotor nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonIV. Trochlear nerve nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonV. Trigeminal nerve which branches out of the ponsVI. Abducens nerve which branches out of the ponsVII. Facial nerve which branches out of the ponsVIII. Vestibulochochlear nerve which branches out of the ponsIX. Glossopharangeal nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaX. Vagus nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaXI. Accessory nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla & cervical spineXII. Hypoglossal nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla


What happens if you get near a nerve giving an buttocks injection?

The femoral nerve.


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.


How are messages from the femoral nerve sent to the brain?

Messages from the femoral nerve are sent to the brain through a series of electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the nerve fibers of the femoral nerve until they reach the spinal cord, where they are then transmitted up to the brain via the spinal cord's sensory pathways. Once in the brain, the messages are interpreted and processed to produce a response or sensation.


Can a needle injected to far into the t-12 - L-1 which you know hit nerves damage the femoral nerve?

If a needle inserted too far at the T12-L1 level hits nerves, it is possible to damage the femoral nerve as it originates from the lumbar nerve roots. Symptoms of femoral nerve damage may include weakness in the thigh or difficulty walking. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect nerve damage.

What action does the femoral nerve do?

Nerves do not have actions. Muscles do, but nerves go to certain receptors. The femoral nerve is the largest in the lumbar plexus and divides into many branches, and supplies the thigh muscles and leg and skin cutaneous receptors (feeling).


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 nerves arise from the sacral?

The nerves that arise from the lumbar plexus are femoral, obturator, lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, illoinguinal and illohypogastric nerve. As part of lumbosacral plexus, it is the nervous plexus that is found in the lumbar region.

How many nerves are in the leg?

There are numerous nerves in the leg, including the sciatic nerve, femoral nerve, and tibial nerve. These nerves innervate different areas of the leg, providing sensation and motor function.


What major nerve serves the posterior leg and 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.
