13
Q
Pudendal N
A
- anterior divisions of the anterior rami of the spinal nerve S2, S3, and S4
- inferior rectal N innervates the external anal sphincter, anal canal, and perianal skin
- perineal N cutaneous supply to part of the posterior scrotum, mucus membrane of the urethra and vagina, motor innervation to the muscles of the perineum
- dorsal N of the clitoris/penis provides cutaneous innervation to this region
14
Q
Nerve to levator ani and ischiococcygeus muscles
A
- the last two branches of the sacral plexus are the nerve to the levator ani and the ischiococcygeus muscle.
15
Q
Perineal branch of S4
A
- the perineal branch of S4 courses via coccygeus and iliococcygeus muscles.
16
Q
Major branches if sacral plexus
A
SIPPS S- superior gluteal N I - inferior gluteal N P- posterior cutaneous N of thigh P- pudendal N S - sciatic N
17
Q
Brachial plexus
