The arrow indicates the sciatic nerve as it enters the gluteal region via the greater sciatic foramen. It emerges inferior to the piriformis muscle, before descending in an inferolateral direction. It innervates all the muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh:

- biceps femoris
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
- ischial portion of the adductor magnus

The sciatic nerve also indirectly innervates some of the muscles of the leg and foot via its terminal branches: the tibial and common fibular nerve.
