which two nerves are the major branches of the sciatic nerve?
fibular (common peroneal)
femoral
inferior gluteal
tibial
obturator
superior gluteal
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It typically branches into the tibial nerve and the fibular (common peroneal) nerve. The femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and gluteal nerves (superior and inferior) are not branches of the sciatic nerve. The femoral nerve arises from the lumbar plexus, the obturator nerve also from the lumbar plexus, and the gluteal nerves from the sacral plexus (but not as branches of the sciatic nerve).
