Its stimulation produces contraction in theflexor muscles of the leg and foot, and pain in the area of distri-bution of the sensitive fibres. The heads of the biceps are each supplied with a branch MOTOR POINTS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITY. 185 of the sciatic nerve. That going to the long head is reached inthe middle of the thigh, just under the fleshy part of the but-tock. The short head is reached lower down and nearer theouter border of the thigh. The semi-tendinosus and semi-membranosus muscles maybe stimulated at the same height as the long head of the biceps,but nearer the inner border of the thigh. M- gastrocnemius interimsM. soleua
