    The femoral nerve

    The femoral nerve is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, and arises from the dorsal
    divisions of the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves (L2-L4).It
    innervates  iliacus muscle,  Pectineus,  Sartorius.The muscles which extend the knee
    Quadriceps femoris( Rectus femoris,,  Vastus lateralis , Vastus medialis and Vastus intermedius.
    The nerve is also responsible for sensation over the front and inner sides of the thigh, shin, and
    arch of the foot.
    The obturator nerve 
    The obturator nerve  arises from the ventral divisions of the second, third, and
    fourth lumbar nerves in the lumbar plexus.
    The obturator nerve is responsible for the sensory innervation of the skin of the
    medial aspect of the thigh. The nerve is also responsible for the motor innervation of
    the adductor muscles of the lower limb (external obturator.[2] adductor longus, adductor
    brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis) .
    The sciatic nerve
    The sciatic nerve  is a large nerve in humans and animals. It begins in the lower
    back and runs through the buttock and down the lower limb. It is the longest and
    widest single nerve in the human body, going from the top of the leg to the foot on
    the posterior aspect.[1] The sciatic nerve provides the connection to the nervous
    system for nearly the whole of the skin of the leg, the muscles of the back of
    the thigh, and those of the leg and foot. It is derived from spinal nerves L4 to S3. It
    contains fibers from both the anterior and posterior divisions of the lumbosacral
    plexus.
     At the popliteal fossa, the nerve divides into its two branches:

     The tibial nerve, which travels down the posterior compartment of the leg into


    the foot
     The common peroneal nerve (also called the common fibular nerve), which
    travels down the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg into the foot and
    divided to deep and superficial peroneal nerves
    The sciatic nerve supplies sensation to the skin of the foot, as well as the entire
    lower leg (except for its inner side). Sensation to skin to the sole of the foot is
    provided by the tibial nerve, and the lower leg and upper surface of the foot via
    the common fibular nerve.[2]:422–4
    The sciatic nerve also innervates muscles. In particular:[2]:422–4

     Via the tibial nerve, the muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg and


    sole of the foot (plantar aspect).[a]
     Via the common peroneal nerve (also called the common fibular nerve), the
    muscles in the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg.
