| nervus plantaris medialis | <anatomy, nerve> One of the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve; it courses along the medial aspect of the sole to supply the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis and, by way of common and proper digital branches, to innervate the skin of the medial part of the foot and medial three and one-half toes. Synonym: nervus plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nervus presacralis | An alternate term for superior hypogastric plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus pterygoideus | <anatomy, nerve> One of two motor branches, lateral and medial, of the mandibular nerve, supplying the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles with fibres of the motor root of the trigeninal nerve. Synonym: nervus pterygoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus pudendus | <anatomy, nerve> Formed by fibres from the ventral primary rami of the second, third, and fourth sacral spinal nerves; it exits the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen, passes posterior to the sacrospinous ligament, and accompanies the internal pudendal artery, into the perineum via the lesser sciatic foramen; it gives off inferior rectal nerves, then courses through the pudendal canal in the lateral wall of the ischiorectal fossa, terminating as the dorsal nerve of the penis or of the clitoris. Synonym: nervus pudendus, plexus pudendus nervosus, pudic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus radialis | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibres of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c5 to t1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibres to extensor regions of the arm and hand. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nervus saccularis | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the vestibular nerve going to the macula of the sacculus. Synonym: nervus saccularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus saphenus | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the femoral, extending from the femoral triangle to the foot, becoming subcutaneous on the medial side of the knee; it supplies cutaneous branches to the skin of the leg and foot, by way of infrapatellar and medial crural branches. Synonym: nervus saphenus, internal saphenous nerve, long saphenous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus sciaticus | An alternate term for sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus spermaticus externus | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of genitofemoral nerve distributed to skin of anterior scrotum (male) or labia majora (female) and adjacent thigh and supplying a motor branch to the cremaster muscle. Usually passes through deep inguinal ring and canal. Synonym: ramus genitalis nervi genitofemoralis, external spermatic nerve, nervus spermaticus externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus spinosus | <anatomy, nerve> A recurrent branch of the mandibular nerve that passes superiorly through foramen spinosum to be distributed with the posterior division of the middle meningeal artery to the meninges of the posterior portion of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: ramus meningeus nervi mandibularis, nervus spinosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus splanchnicus imus | <anatomy, nerve> One of the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves arising in the thorax and penetrating the diaphragm to supply presynaptic sympathetic fibres for the renal plexus; often combined with the lesser splanchnic nerve, but occasionally existing as an independent nerve. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus imus, smallest splanchnic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus splanchnicus major | <anatomy, nerve> Uppermost of the abdominopelvic splanchnic which arises from the fifth or sixth to the ninth or tenth thoracic sympathetic ganglia in the thorax and passes downward along the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae, penetrating the diaphragm to join the coeliac plexus; conveys presynaptic sympathetic fibres to the coeliac ganglia, and visceral afferent fibres from the coeliac plexus. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus splanchnicus minor | <anatomy, nerve> One of the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves arising in the thorax from the last two thoracic sympathetic ganglia and passing through the diaphragm to the aorticorenal ganglion; conveys presynaptic sympathetic fibres and visceral afferent fibres. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus stapedius | <anatomy> A branch of the facial arising in the facial canal and innervating the stapedius muscle. Synonym: nervus stapedius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus statoacusticus | <anatomy, nerve> The vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing and balance (body position sense). Lesions of the eighth nerve can result in deafness, tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo and vomiting. Synonym: cranial nerve VIII. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nervous system |
the system of nerves including the brain, the cranial nerves, the spinal cord, the spinal nerves, and the peripheral nerves; includes the autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) nerves.

| nerve block |
Injection of lidocaine or other medication around a nerve to determine if a particular nerve is responsible for causing pain, and to relieve pain. Neuromuscular Re-education - Used in cases of post operative care of surgical repair of nerve injuries. Involves the retraining of reinnervated muscles. Nonunion - State of healing of the bone in which there is no healing.
