Lumbar Spinal Nerve 5 - Muscles

Muscles

L5 supplies many muscles, either directly or through nerves originating from L5. They are not innervated with L5 as single origin, but partly by L5 and partly by other spinal nerves. The muscles are:

  • gluteus maximus muscle mainly S1
  • gluteus medius muscle
  • gluteus minimus muscle
  • tensor fasciae latae
  • tibialis anterior
  • tibialis posterior
  • extensor digitorum brevis

Famous quotes containing the word muscles:

    “Light
    Flashed from his matted head and marble feet,
    He grappled at the net
    With the coiled, hurdling muscles of his thighs:
    The corpse was bloodless, a botch of reds and whites,”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    “All of this,
    and the curious knee-cap,
    fitted above the wrought greaves,
    and the sharp muscles of your back
    which the tunic could not cover.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
