The cauda equina, which translates to "horse's tail," is a bundle of spinal nerves and nerve roots located at the lower end of the spinal cord. Its primary function is to supply motor and sensory innervation to the pelvic organs and lower limbs. This structure allows for the continuation of nerve pathways beyond the end of the spinal cord, facilitating communication between the brain and the lower body. Damage to the cauda equina can lead to severe neurological issues, including loss of sensation and motor function in the legs and pelvic area.
