A plexus is a branching network of axons outside of the central nervous system.

The four primary nerve plexuses are the cervical plexus, brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and the sacral plexus.

The choroid plexus is a part of central nervous system in the brain and it consist of capillaries, ventricles and ependymal cells.

One advantage to having plexuses is that damage to a single spinal nerve will not completely paralyze a limb.
