pudendal nerve arises from what spinal levels?
S2-4
pudendal nerve travels with […] artery
internal pudendal
(exact same pathway and gives off the exact same branches)
exits pelvis through greater sciatic foramen between piriformis and coccygeus,
then dives deep to the sacrotuberous ligament
pudendal nerve
pudendal nerve lies deep to […] ligament to enter the pudendal canal
sacrotuberous
pudendal canal is located between
obturator fascia and obturator muscle
branch of pudendal nerve that innervates the deep and superficial pouches of the perineum
deep perineal n.
branch of pudendal nerve that terminates as the posterior scrotal/labial nerves
superficial perineal n.
the pudendal n. terminates as […] nerve

branch of pudendal nerve that innervates motor to external anal sphincter
inferior rectal n.
branch of pudendal nerve that innervates sensory to the anal canal inferior to pectinate line and skin around the anus
inferior rectal n.
branch of pudendal nerve that innervates sensory to skin around perineal body
and sensory to skin of scrotum/labia
superficial perineal n.
branch of pudendal nerve that innervates motor to the muscles of the deep and superficial perineum
deep perineal n.
branch of pudendal nerve that innervates sensory to the vestibule and inferior vagina
deep perineal n.
