Medical and surgical therapy . s. Its sensonk branches are the first seven collateral plankir branches.

Ab in the case of the ulnar in the hand, it has a cutaneov^sbranch, which is purely sensory, and a deep muscular branch. PHYSIOLOGY The Muscles supplied by the Great Sciatic.—The biceps, semi-tendinosus, and semimembranosus are all flexors of the leg on thethigh. According to Duchenne (of Boulogne), these muscles also extendthe thigh on the pelvis in walking, and rotate the leg on the thigh,the semitendinosus rotating it inwards and the bicej^s outwards. GREAT SCIATIC AND POPLITEAL NERVES 159 Muscles supplied by the External Popliteal.—The tibialis anticuscauses very powerful flexion of the dorsum of the foot. Its thick I ^ n. tendon stands out prominently on the anterior aspect of the anklewhen the foot is lifted and carried inwards, so that this muscle alsoadducts and rotates the foot. The extensor longus digitorum extends the first phalanges of the 160 CLINICAL FORMS OF NERVE LESIONS four outer toes. It assists in dorsal flexion of the foot, which it alsoabducts slightly.
