17. LUMBAR PLEXUS
.Upper portion ofthe lumbosacral plexus.
.Roots ----anterior rami ofist lumbar spinal nerve until
4h lumbar spinal nerves (Ln-L4)
Some contribution from 12th thoracic spinal nerve and
sh lumbar spinal nerve.
Give motor and cutaneous innervations for certain
area on the abdominal area,pelvic area,and thigh.
19. LUMBAR PLEXUS
.Anterior primary division of Li,Lz and L4 divide into
upper and lower branches.
The upper branch of Li forms the iliohypogastric and
ilioinguinal nerves
The lower branch
to form the genitott nd?ansehSeyPper branch of L²
The lower branch of L4 jo ns L5 to form the
lumbosacral trunk.
20. LUMBAR PLEXUS
The lower branch of L2,all ofL3 and the upper
branch of L4 each split into a small anterior and a
large posterior division
The 3 anterior divisions unite to form the obturator
nerve
The 3 posterior divisions unite to form the femoral
nerve,and the upper 2 posterior divisions give off
twigs that form the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
21. LUMBAR PLEXUS
Collatoral branches to muscles supply the quadratus
lumborum and intertransversari from Li to L4 and the
psoas muscle from L2 and L3.

24. ILIOHYPGOSTRIC NERVE(T12,L1)
Passes around the iliac crest between the internal
oblique muscles and divides into an iliac(lateral)
branch supplying the skin of the upper lateral
part of the thigh and a hypogastric(anterior)
branch descending anteriorly to the skin over the
pubic symphysis.
25. The ilioinguinal nerve(L1)follows a course slightly
inferior to iliohypogastric nerve,with it may
anastomose,and is distributed to the skin of the
upper medial part of the thigh and the root of the
penis and scrotum(mons pubis &labium majus)
26. GENITOFEMORAL NERVE (L1,L2)
Emerges from the anterior surface of the psoas
muscles,runs obliquely downward on the surface
of this muscle and divides into the external
spermatic nerve,which supplies the cresmastric
muscle and the skin of the scrotum or labia and
the lumboinguinal nerve,which supplies the skin of
the middle upper part of the thigh.
27. LATERAL FEMORAL CUTANEOUS
NERVE(L2,L3)
Passes obliquely across the iliacus muscle and
under Poupart's ligament to divide into several
rami distributed to the skin of the anterolateral
side of the thigh.
29. FEMORAL (ANTERIOR CRURAL)NERVE
L2-L4
.Largest branch of the lumbar plexus
Arise from the 3 posterior division of the plexus
which derived from L2,L3 &L4
Emerges from the lateral border of the psoas
muscle just above the inguinal ligament where it
divides into terminal branches.
30. FEMORAL (ANTERIOR CRURAL)NERVE
L2-L4
Motor branch above the inguinal ligament supply
the iliopsoas muscle
Motor branches in the thigh supply the sartorius,
pectinues and quadriceps femoris muscles
Sensory branches include anterior femoral
cutaneous branches to the anterior and medial
surface of the thigh and the saphenous nerve to
the medial side of the leg and foot.
31. OBTURATOR NERVE
Arise from the lumbar plexus by a fusion of
the 3 anterior divisions of the plexus,which
are divided from the 2d,3rd,and 4th lumbar
nerves.
Emerges from the medial border of the psoas
muscle near the brim of the pelvis,obturator
nerve passes on the lateral side of the
hypogastric vessels and ureter and descends
through the obturator canal in the upper part
of the obturator foramen to the medial side
of the thigh.
32. OBTURATOR NERVE
In the canal the obturator nerve splits into
anterior and posterior branch.
Motor rami from the posterior branch supply
the obturator externus and adductor magnus
muscles.
Motor rami from the anterior branch supply
the adductor longus and adductor brevis
muscles and the gracilis muscles
Sensory rami from the anterior branch of the
nerve supply the hip joint and a small area of
skin on the medial internal part of the thigh.
