Facts

  • A nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers called axons.
  • Nerves transmit electrical messages between the brain and areas of the body.
  • The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body; it runs from each side of the lower spine through deep in the rear and back of the thigh, and all the way down to foot, connecting the spinal cord with the leg and foot muscles.
