c
This nerve leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region via the lesser sciatic foramen
QuestionChoice
The sciatic nerve does not pass through the adductor hiatus.

d
This nerve passes through the adductor hiatus.
QuestionChoice
The sciatic nerve does pass through the greater sciatic foramen but it is inferior to the piriformis. The structures superior to the piriformis are the superior gluteal artery, vein and nerve.

b
This nerve leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region via the greater sciatic foramen superior to the piriformis muscle.
QuestionChoice
Although the sciatic nerve passes through the gluteal region, it does not innervate the muscles here.

e
This nerve innervates the muscles of the gluteal region
QuestionChoice
The arrow points to the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. It enters the gluteal region through the greater sciatic foramen, emerging inferior to the piriformis muscle, passing through the infrapiriform foramen. The sciatic nerve travels down the posterior thigh, supplying motor and sensory innervation to much of the lower limb. It bifurcates near the popliteal fossa into the tibial and common fibular (peroneal) nerves, which innervate the lower leg and foot. Its course through the gluteal region makes it vulnerable to compression, leading to conditions like piriformis syndrome or sciatica.
