Study Notes
Lumbar Plexus
- Mnemonic for lumbar plexus root values: "I Got Lunch On Friday"
- Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric nerves arise from L1
- Genitofemoral nerve stems from L1 and L2
- Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is derived from L2 and L3
- Obturator and Femoral nerves originate from L2, L3, and L4
Sacral Plexus Branches
- Nerve to Piriformis comes from S1 and S2
- Perforating cutaneous nerve serves the medial buttock, branching from S2 and S3
- Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve supplies the buttock and uppermost medial and posterior thigh areas, originating from S1, S2, and S3
- Pudendal nerve, essential for pelvic floor function, arises from S2, S3, and S4, exiting the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen and re-entering through the lesser sciatic foramen into the pudendal canal
Branches of Pudendal Nerve
- Mnemonic for Pudendal nerve branches: "PID" (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease relates to Pudendal neuralgia)
- Perineal nerve is a branch of the Pudendal nerve
- Inferior rectal nerve supplies the lower rectum, also a branch of the Pudendal nerve
- Dorsal nerve serves the penis or clitoris, completing the Pudendal nerve branches
