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
