Innervation/ Nerves Flashcards
Lumbar Plexus is
ventral rami of T12 L1-L4
Postganglionic Gray Rami communicates from:
sympathetic chain ganglia
they are conveyed to bodywall & lower limbs by way of :
ventral rami of the lumbar and sacral plexus
Subcostal N.
T12
Iliohypogastric N.

Genitofemoral N.
L1, L2
Lateral Cutaneous N. of thigh
L2, L3
Nerve to Iliacus
L2, L3
Femoral N.
L2-L4
Obturator N.
L2-L4
Sacral Plexus is formed by:
the union of Lumbosacral Trunk L4, L5
and Ventral Rami S1-S4
Parasympathetic Pelvic splanichs originate from
S2-S4
they follow the path but doesn’t contribute

posterior thigh just inferior to popliteal fossa
the Post. Fem. Cut N. gives off:
