Vascularization of the human sciatic nerve fasciculi.
The infrafascicular blood vessels of the sciatic nerve were investigated in 36 nerves obtained during autopsy from males and females aged 20-72 years. Arteries of fasciculi form intrafascicular vascular net. The number of venous vessels draining blood from fasciculi is much greater than arterial vessels.
