Study of the nerves of the pelvic limb of Tamandua tetradactyla
The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of the pelvic limb nerves of T. tetradactyla. With this purpose, five adult cadavers provided by IBAMA-GO were used. Each animal had the pelvic limb of both antimeres dissected after fixation in a 10% formaldehyde solution. The genitofemoral and...

| Resumo: | The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of the pelvic limb nerves of T. tetradactyla. With this purpose, five adult cadavers provided by IBAMA-GO were used. Each animal had the pelvic limb of both antimeres dissected after fixation in a 10% formaldehyde solution. The genitofemoral andlateral femoral cutaneous nerves are distributed in the medial, craniomedial and craniolateral skin of the thigh, respectively. The femoral nerve sent branches to the psoas minor, iliopsoas, sartorius and pectineus muscles, and terminated penetrating the quadriceps femoris muscle. It also gave rise to the saphenous nerve, which in its trajectory it innervated the skin of the medial aspect of the thigh, leg and the dorsomedial region of the foot. The obturator nerve sent branches to the medial thigh muscles. The cranial and caudal gluteal nerves innervated the gluteal muscles. The sciatic nerve innervated gemeli, quadratus femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, long and short biceps femoris musclesand ended up dividing into lateral sural cutaneous, tibial and common fibular nerves. The lateral sural cutaneous nerve innervated the craniolateral skin of the knee and leg, while the common fibular andtibial nerves innervated the muscles of the leg and ended up distributing in the foot. |
