general course and function of genital branch of genitofemoral n
Genitofemoral n (combined) pierces psoas major.
Genital branch goes thru deep AND superficial inguinal rings.
Travels inside spermatic cord.
Motor to cremaster.
Sensory to scrotum // labia major and mons pubis.
general course and function of femoral branch of genitofemoral n
Genitofemoral n (combined) pierces psoas major.
Femoral branch travels inferior to inguinal ligament.
Sensory to upper anterior thigh.
general course and function of ilioinguinal n
Travels alongside spermatic cord.
Passes thru superficial ring only.
NOT inside spermatic cord.
Sensory to skin of lower abdominal wall, scrotum/labia majora.
general course and function of iliohypogastric n
Most superficial.
Does not pass thru any inguinal rings.
