What muscle is paralyzed if sciatic nerve is severed?
If the sciatic nerve is severed, the muscles controlled by it would be affected. These include the muscles of the lower leg and foot, such as the hamstrings, calf muscles, and muscles that control movement of the foot and toes. Injury to the sciatic nerve can result in weakness or paralysis of these muscles on the affected side.
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of what nerve?
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.
What muscle and nerve will you need to isolate to study the physiology of nerve fibers?
To study the physiology of nerve fibers, you would need to isolate a specific muscle and the nerve innervating that muscle. This allows for the investigation of the interaction between the nerve and muscle, observing the transmission of signals and studying the response of the muscle to nerve stimulation. Commonly studied muscles and nerves in this context include the gastrocnemius muscle and the sciatic nerve in animal models.
What would happen if a nerve cell stopped working?
Your body would not function and you would be considered brain dead if none worked or if only one did not work the target that the nerve is going to would not work, for example a muscle or gland.
What will happen if the planets do not follow their own orbits?
Then the laws of physics would be broken. An impossibility.
Can a pinched sciatic nerve cause clitoral and outer vaginal numbness?
If you have these symptoms you need to see a doctor. I have never heard that a pinched sciatic nerve would have that effect.
Would biceps femoris be paralyzed if the sciatic nerve was severed?
yes

What is the difference between foot drop due to sciatic nerve injury and common peroneal nerve injury?
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same
What cpt codes are used for piriformis injection?
When the physician performs the procedure as a block of the sciatic nerve then 64445 is appropriate. When the physician documents injection into the piriformis without mention of the sciatic nerve then 20999 would be most appropriate. Different payers may have different instructions. For example, Noridian Medicare prefers 64999 for when the injection into the piriformis without mention of the sciatic nerve is performed.
What is the nerve carrying motor information causing the right leg flexion when you step on a nail?
The nerve carrying motor information causing right leg flexion when stepping on a nail would be the sciatic nerve. This nerve is responsible for providing motor function to the muscles of the lower limb, including the hamstrings which are involved in flexing the leg in response to a painful stimulus like stepping on a nail.
Are there any stretches that will help my sciatic nerve pain?
Traditional exercises and home treatments don't work because they fail to fix the physical problem and only provide temporary relief. Sciatica is just a symptom of something affecting your sciatic nerve to cause the pain and discomfort. A chiropractor can help get to the root of the problem and help align your body correctly to prevent the pain from reoccurring.

What would cause transection of the sciatic nerve?
There are many causes of sciatic pain. Studies show one of the causes for sciatic pain is spondylolisthesis. Sometimes this severe pain is also caused by Spinal Stenosis and is mostly accompanies by sever pain and sensation. Also, tumors, infections etc can also lead to sciatic pain. Injury could also lead to developing of pain in the lower back.
What would happen if you went to hear one of Shakespeare's plays?
nothing would happen but it would be quite nerve racking
What happen if a man's liver has nerve?
