  subtype:  #radial_nerve__nervus_radialis__musculospiral_nerve__musculospiralnerve  largest branch of the brachial plexus; extends down the humerus to the lateral epicondyle where it divides into one branch that goes to the skin on the back of the hand and another that goes to the underlying extensor muscles
  subtype:  #splanchnic_nerve  any of several nerves of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system that innervate viscera and blood vessels
  subtype:  #sciatic_nerve__sciaticnerve__nervus_ischiadicus  arises from the sacral plexus and passes about halfway down the thigh where it divides into the common peroneal and tibial nerves
