Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve (external dorsal cutaneous branch) is the smaller[citation needed] and more lateral one of the two terminal branches of the superficial fibular nerve (the other being the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve). It passes over the third intermetatarsal space before itself bifurcating into two terminal branches: the lateral dorsal digital nerve of the third toe, and the medial dorsal digital nerve of the fourth toe.[1]
