|
Nerve to obturator internus muscle
|
(anterior branches L5, S1, 2)
Supplies: superior gemellus and obturator internus muscles Exits the pelvis through greater sciatic foramen below piriformis muscle and gives off branch to the superior gemellus muscle. it Re-enters the pelvis through lesser sciatic foramen to supply obturator internus muscle. Appears lateral to internal pudendal vessels |
|
