Anteriorview

The lumbar plexus arises from the ventral rami of the fi rst four

lumbar spinal nerves. The plexus emerges laterally through the

intervertebral foramina to pass anterolateral between the two

Lumbar Plexus

heads of the psoas major muscle. The more superior branches of the plexus enter the abdominal body wall to

innervate the abdominal muscles. The lower nerves of the plexus course into the lower limb as the lateral

femoral cutaneous, femoral, and obturator nerves. The lumbar plexus is a transitory plexus that begins as a

series of body wall nerves and eventually transitions into limb innervation. The fi rst ventral ramus of the plexus

is basically a segmental nerve that follows the basic segmental nerve pattern in the ventral body wall. The

second lumbar ventral ramus forms segmental branches in the body wall and other branches that contribute to

limb innervation. The third and fourth ventral rami contribute solely to innervation of the lower limb anatomy.

Dissection of sacral plexus nerves

Posterior view

Dissection of pudendal nerves and vessels

Lateral view

The sacral plexus forms from the ventral rami of the last two

lumbar and the fi rst four sacral spinal nerves. The fourth and

fi fth lumbar spinal nerves form a descending communication,

Sacral Plexus

the lumbosacral trunk, that joins with the upper sacral spinal nerves as they exit the anterior foramina

of the sacrum. On the anterior surface of the sacrum the large roots of the plexus are noticeable

before they exit through the greater sciatic notch on their course into the pelvic wall and lower limb.

This plexus forms the total nerve supply to the pelvic body wall, and, along with the limb branches from

the lumbar plexus, is the nerve supply for the lower limb.

Dissection of intercostal nerves

Lateral view

Dissection of intercostal space

Lateral view

Intercostal Nerves

costal and subcostal nerves, emerge from the spinal nerve trunk and enter the intercostal space just inferior to each of the

twelve ribs. Each of these segmental nerves has a similar structural design. The main trunk of the nerve runs through the

intercostal space, with the segmental arteries and veins, between the middle and internal muscle layers of the body wall.

Accompanying the main branch is a smaller collateral branch, which emerges from the main branch near the angle of the

rib, and runs inferior to the main branch through the intercostal space. The main branch also gives rise to lateral and anterior cutaneous branches that supply the skin, or dermatome, of each segment.

Unlike the ventral rami in the cervical, lumbar, and sacral regions, which

form plexuses, most of the thoracic ventral rami remain segmental like

their dorsal counterparts. These thoracic ventral rami, called the interIntercostal Nerves

into the integumentary covering of the body. These detailed dissections
