Lumbar plexus are contributed to by ventral rami of
T12 + L1-4
The plexus of ventral rami L1-4 occur with _____ major
Psoas major
T12 and L1 go on to supply the ..
anterior abdominal wall
L2/3/4 go on to supply the nerve of the ____ -___
lower limb
From the lateral border of psoas major, 4 branches originate, what are they?
ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves (L1)
Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh (L2,3)
Femoral nerve L,2,3,4
The one anterior branch from Psoas major is
Genitofemoral nerve (L1,2)
The one medial branch from Psoas major is
obturator nerve (L2,3,4)
True or false
Psoas major attaches to the vertebral bodies (transverse process) and the vertebral discs
true
IlioHypogastric nerve is ___ than ilioInguinal nerve
higher (in alphabet as well)
going to anterior abdominal wall- above quadratus lumborum
The lateral femoral cuntaneous nerve of thigh tucks under the ____ _____ immediately adjacent to its attachment to ASIS
inguinal ligament
Then runs down the lateral thigh
Pins and Needles in pregnancy down the lateral side of the thigh can be caused by
The lateral cutanous nerve of thigh being trapped against the ASIS and the inguinal ligament
The femoral nerve is the ____ of the 4 branches from psoas
lowest
The femoral nerve passes under what going into the thigh
inguinal ligament
The Genitofemoral nerve branches into the .
genital branch
femoral branch - continues under the inguinal ligament
Obturator nerve is for the _____ muscles
adductor
derived from flexor musculature - therefore has anterior fibres

distal to the inguinal ligament
motor, sensory and articular
The femoral nerve is sensory to the
anteromedial thigh and medial side of knee leg and anke
Anterior cutaneous branches
Saphenous nerve
Also braches to the joints they pass
What nerves come off the femoral nerve to supply skin on thigh (on medial side)
