3
Sensory and motor innervation of the whole
.lower limb
arises from the spinal roots L1-S4
Lumbal plexus
Sacral plexus
4
Anterior rami of
.upper 4 lumbar
spinal nerves (+L5)
and from the
contribution of
subcostal nerve
(T12)
in the lumbar
region, within
the psoas major
muscle.

.L1
gives rise to the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves
L1 + L2 gives rise to the genitofemoral nerve
L2 + L3 gives rise to the lateral femoral cutaneous
L2 + L3 + L4 give rise to the femoral and obturator nerves
L4 + L5 give rise to the lumbosacral trunk which joins sacral
nerves to form the sacral plexus.
