five
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 five pairs of lumbar spinal nerves are L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5. These nerves emerge from the lumbar region of the spinal cord and are part of the larger group of spinal nerves that branch out to innervate various body regions. Each pair corresponds to a specific vertebral segment in the lower back.
The cervical spinal nerves form the cervical plexus, the brachial spinal nerves form the brachial plexus, the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves form the lumbosacral plexus, and the sacral spinal nerves form the sacral plexus.
The parts of the CNS that give rise to sympathetic nerves are the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord.
The correct sequence of nerves that exit the spinal cord from superior to inferior are cervical (C1-C8), thoracic (T1-T12), lumbar (L1-L5), sacral (S1-S5), and coccygeal (Co1).
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).
The femoral nerve is part of the lumbar plexus. It arises from the anterior divisions of the L2 to L4 spinal nerves. The lumbar plexus mostly innervates the lower limb muscles and skin.
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.
