Q

how are the lumbar nerves numbered?

A

after the intervertebral foramen they exit the vertebral canal from and the vertebral body cranial to it.

Q

the nerve roots for the first lumbar nerve are at what level?
a) L1
b) L1-2
c) L2
d) L3

A

L1-2. as traced caudally the segments of the spinal cord are shorter than the vertebral segments. this means the spinal cord ends around the L6-7 ish. there fore the last several vertebral roots run within the vertebral canal a long distance before exiting

Q

which is true?
a) the lumbar plexus innervates the cranial and medial aspect of the thigh and cutaneous tissues, and the sacral plexus innervates the caudal and lateral aspect of the thigh as well as all the muscles of the crus, pes and skin
b) the lumbar plexus innervates the caudal and medial aspect of the hindlimb (thigh and cutaneous tissues), and the sacral plexus innervates the cranial and lateral aspect of the thigh, as well as all the muscles of the crus, pes and skin
c) the lumbar plexus innervates the caudal and lateral aspect of the hindlimb (thigh and cutaneous tissues), and the sacral plexus innervates the cranial and medial aspect

A

A. there is overlap to most muscles are innervated by more than one spinal segment.
