  2. Dorsal ramus of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_ramus_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal rami provide motor innervation to the deep (a.k.a. intrinsic or true) muscles of the back, and sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior portion of the head, neck and back. [1] A spinal nerve splits within the intervertebral foramen to form a dorsal ramus and a ventral ramus. The dorsal ramus then turns to course posterior ...

  3. Lumbar nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_nerves

    The fifth lumbar spinal nerve 5 (L5) [5] originates from the spinal column from below the lumbar vertebra 5 (L5). L5 supplies many muscles, either directly or through nerves originating from L5. They are not innervated with L5 as single origin, but partly by L5 and partly by other spinal nerves. The muscles are: gluteus maximus muscle mainly S1

    The thoracic, lumbar, and sacral nerves are then numbered by the vertebra above. In the case of a lumbarized S1 vertebra (also known as L6) or a sacralized L5 vertebra, the nerves are typically still counted to L5 and the next nerve is S1.

  5. Posterior branches of the lumbar nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_branches_of_the...

    The medial branches run close to the articular processes of the vertebræ and end in the Multifidus.; The lateral branches supply the Sacrospinalis.The upper three give off cutaneous nerves which pierce the aponeurosis of the Latissimus dorsi at the lateral border of the Sacrospinalis and descend across the posterior part of the iliac crest to the skin of the buttock, some of their twigs ...

  6. Epaxial and hypaxial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaxial_and_hypaxial_muscles

    The hypaxial muscles are located on the ventral side of the body, often below the horizontal septum in many species (primarily fish and amphibians). In all species, the hypaxial muscles are innervated by the ventral ramus (branch) of the spinal nerves, while the epaxial muscles are innervated by the dorsal ramus.

  7. Posterior ramus syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_ramus_syndrome

    The affected posterior ramus ends cutaneously causing trophic changes of the skin referred to as cellulalgia. Neuropathic pain is found in three well described regions and serves as the principal clinical component in diagnosing Lumbar Dorsal Ramus Syndrome (LDRS). Typical neuropathic skin changes are present: a thickening or nodularity of the ...

  8. Superior cluneal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cluneal_nerves

    Manual compression over the posterior superior iliac crest, such as with wearing tight clothing and belts, can also reproduce symptoms. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] Many patients also have tender points located around the posterior iliac crest, approximately 7 cm from midline which correlates with cadaver studies demonstrating the location at which the nerves ...

  9. 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.
