  2. Lumbar nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_nerves

    The third lumbar spinal nerve (L3) [3] originates from the spinal column from below the lumbar vertebra 3 (L3). L3 supplies many muscles, either directly or through nerves originating from L3. They may be innervated with L3 as single origin, or be innervated partly by L3 and partly by other spinal nerves. The muscles are: quadratus lumborum ...

  3. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    Spinal nerve Typical spinal nerve location. Each spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, formed from the combination of nerve root fibers from its dorsal and ventral roots. The dorsal root is the afferent sensory root and carries sensory information to the brain. The ventral root is the efferent motor root and carries motor information from the brain.

  4. Nerve root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_root

    Spinal nerve roots: the initial or proximal segment of one of the 31 pairs of spinal nerves leaving the central nervous system from the spinal cord. Each spinal nerve is a mixed nerve formed by the union of a sensory dorsal root and a motor ventral root, [1] meaning that there are 62 dorsal/ventral root pairs, and therefore 124 nerve roots in ...

  5. Dorsal root of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_root_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal root of spinal nerve (or posterior root of spinal nerve or sensory root) [1] is one of two "roots" which emerge from the spinal cord. It emerges directly from the spinal cord, and travels to the dorsal root ganglion. Nerve fibres with the ventral root then combine to form a spinal nerve.

  7. Ventral root of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_root_of_spinal_nerve

    In anatomy and neurology, the ventral root of spinal nerve, anterior root, or motor root [1] is the efferent motor root of a spinal nerve. At its distal end, the ventral root joins with the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve .

  8. Lumbar plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_plexus

    The lumbar plexus is a web of nerves (a nerve plexus) in the lumbar region of the body which forms part of the larger lumbosacral plexus. It is formed by the divisions of the first four lumbar nerves (L1-L4) and from contributions of the subcostal nerve (T12), which is the last thoracic nerve .

  9. Sympathetic trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_trunk

    The sympathetic trunk is a fundamental part of the sympathetic nervous system, and part of the autonomic nervous system.It allows nerve fibres to travel to spinal nerves that are superior and inferior to the one in which they originated.
