  2. 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

  3. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    The muscles that one particular spinal root supplies are that nerve's myotome, and the dermatomes are the areas of sensory innervation on the skin for each spinal nerve. Lesions of one or more nerve roots result in typical patterns of neurologic defects ( muscle weakness , abnormal sensation, changes in reflexes) that allow localization of the ...

  4. 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.

  5. Dorsal root ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_root_ganglion

    A dorsal root ganglion (or spinal ganglion; also known as a posterior root ganglion [1]) is a cluster of neurons (a ganglion) in a dorsal root of a spinal nerve. The cell bodies of sensory neurons known as first-order neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia. [2] The axons of dorsal root ganglion neurons are known as afferents.

  6. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    Likewise, sensory nerve rootlets form off right and left dorsal lateral sulci and form sensory nerve roots. The ventral (motor) and dorsal (sensory) roots combine to form spinal nerves (mixed; motor and sensory), one on each side of the spinal cord. Spinal nerves, with the exception of C1 and C2, form inside the intervertebral foramen. These ...

  7. Nerve root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_root

    A nerve root (Latin: radix nervi) is the initial segment of a nerve leaving the central nervous system.Nerve roots can be classified as: Cranial nerve roots: the initial or proximal segment of one of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves leaving the central nervous system from the brain stem or the highest levels of the spinal cord.

  8. Filum terminale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filum_terminale

    The filum terminale is situated centrally [2] amid the spinal nerve roots of the cauda equina [3] [2] (but is not itself a part of the cauda equina [2]).. The inferior-most spinal nerve, the coccygeal nerve, leaves the spinal cord at the level of the conus medullaris via respective vertebrae through their intervertebral foramina, superior to the filum terminale.
