NERVOUS SYSTEM
Brain: Controls body functions, processes information, and regulates emotions, thoughts, and motor
activities.
Cerebellum: Coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and muscle tone.
Spinal Cord: Transmits signals between the brain and body, enabling reflex actions and motor control.
Brachial Plexus: Supplies motor and sensory innervation to the shoulder, arm, and hand.
Musculocutaneous Nerve: Controls flexor muscles of the arm and provides sensation to the forearm.
Radial Nerve: Innervates the extensor muscles of the arm and forearm; provides sensation to the
posterior arm and hand.
Median Nerve: Supplies muscles for forearm flexion and thumb movement; gives sensation to parts of
the hand.
Iliohypogastric Nerve: Innervates abdominal muscles and provides sensation to the lower abdomen and
groin.
Genitofemoral Nerve: Provides sensation to the upper thigh and genital region.
Femoral Nerve: Controls muscles for thigh flexion and knee extension; provides sensation to the anterior
thigh and medial leg.
Ulnar Nerve: Controls hand muscles and provides sensation to the medial hand and fingers.
Digital Nerve: Supplies sensation to the fingers and thumb.
Sciatic Nerve: Supplies motor and sensory innervation to the posterior thigh, leg, and foot.
Intercostal Nerves: Innervate intercostal muscles for breathing and provide sensation to the chest wall.
Subcostal Nerve: Assists with abdominal muscle control and sensation below the ribs.
Lumbar Plexus: Supplies the lower back, abdomen, pelvis, and parts of the legs.
Sacral Plexus: Innervates the pelvis, buttocks, genitals, thighs, legs, and feet.
Saphenous Nerve: Provides sensation to the medial leg and foot.
Common Peroneal Nerve: Supplies muscles for foot dorsiflexion and sensation to the lateral leg and
foot.
Tibial Nerve: Controls muscles for plantar flexion and provides sensation to the sole of the foot.
Deep Peroneal Nerve: Innervates muscles for toe extension and provides sensation to the dorsal foot.
Superficial Peroneal Nerve: Supplies muscles for foot eversion and provides sensation to the lateral leg
and foot.
