 of the sacral segment..

It originates from the spinal column from below the 2nd body of the sacrum

Sacrum

Muscles

S2 supplies many muscles, either directly or through nerves originating from S2. They are not innervated with S2 as single origin, but partly by S2 and partly by other spinal nerves. The muscles are:

• sphincter urethrae membranaceae
• gluteus maximus muscle
  Gluteus maximus muscle

  Gastrocnemius muscle
  In humans, the gastrocnemius muscle is a very powerful superficial pennate muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg. It runs from its two heads just above the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing, walking, running and jumping. Along with the soleus muscle it forms the calf muscle...
  
  
• flexor hallucis longus
  Flexor hallucis longus muscle
  The Flexor hallucis longus muscle is a muscle of the leg.It is one of the deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg. The other deep muscles of the leg are flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posterior. Tibialis posterior is most powerful of these deep muscles.The Flexor hallucis...

  Abductor digiti minimi muscle (foot)
  The Abductor digiti minimi is a muscle which lies along the lateral border of the foot, and is in relation by its medial margin with the lateral plantar vessels and nerves....
  
  
• quadratus plantae
  Quadratus plantae muscle
  The Quadratus plantæ is separated from the muscles of the first layer by the lateral plantar vessels and nerve. It acts to aid in flexing the 2nd to 5th toes and is one of the few muscles in the foot with no homolog in the hand.It arises by two heads, which are separated from each other by the long...
