31 pairs. And they arise from the combination of the ventral and dorsal roots.
Lumbar Nerves "L" (nerves in the lower back) supply the legs, the bladder, bowel and sexual organs.
cervical spinal nerves, thoracic spinal nerves, lumbar spinal nerves, sacral spinal nerves
L1-5. These nerves enter from the lumbar vertebrae of the lower back.
The spinal cord is enlarged in the cervical and lumbar regions, where the spinal nerves serving the limbs arise.
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral nerves
Lumbar plexus
The parts of the CNS that give rise to sympathetic nerves are the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord.
31 pairs of spinal nerves, separated by vertebrae (exit in intervertebral foramina) of the different sections of the spine: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal.
Nerves do not have actions. Muscles do, but nerves go to certain receptors. The femoral nerve is the largest in the lumbar plexus and divides into many branches, and supplies the thigh muscles and leg and skin cutaneous receptors (feeling).
Lumbar stenosis is arthritis of the spinal cord which can cause severe back pain. It causes the spinal cord cavity to narrow and to put pressure on the nerves.
L-1, l-2, l-3, l-4, l-5.
