Human anatomy class wikitable align right File Dermatomes and cutaneous nerves anterior.png 205px left File Dermatomes and cutaneous nerves posterior.png 230px right br clear all Dermatome anatomy Dermatomes and major cutaneous nerves. In human anatomy , cutaneous nerves are responsible for providing sensory innervation to the skin. They are generally thought of as sensory only nerves, but they may provide motor innervation to structures in the skin, e.g. sweat glands. There are many cutaneous nerves in the human body, only some of which are named. Some of the larger cutaneous nerves are as follows Upper body Main Cutaneous innervation of the upper limbs In the arm proper Superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm Superior LCNOA Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm Inferior LCNOA Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm PCNOA Medial cutaneous nerve of arm MCNOA In the forearm Lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm LCNOF Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm PCNOF Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm MCNOF Lower body Main Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs In the thigh Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh LCNOT Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh PCNOT Other In the torso Ventral cutaneous branches Lateral cutaneous branches of torso Lateral cutaneous branches Dorsal cutaneous branches In the neck & head Supraorbital nerve Infraorbital nerve Mental nerve Buccal nerve Auriculotemporal nerve Supraclavicular nerves C3, C4 Great auricular nerve C2, C3 Greater occipital nerve C2 DEFAULTSORT Cutaneous Nerve Category Nervous system Neuroanatomy stub ... more details

It runs forward below the lateral malleolus, and is continued as the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve along the lateral side of the foot and little toe via a dorsal digital nerve , communicating on the dorsum of the foot with the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve , a branch of the superficial peroneal . In the leg, its branches communicate with those of the collateral branches off of the common tibial, and common fibular nerve. Clinical significance The sural nerve subserves a purely sensory function, and therefore its removal results in only a relatively trivial deficit. For this reason, it is often used for nerve biopsy , as well as the donor nerve when a nerve graft is performed.
