]]>Although there are only 7 cervical vertebrae, but there are 8 nerves; as the 1st nerve leaves the vertebral canal between the occipital bone and atlas(C1). The lumber, sacral and coccygeal nerves leave the spinal cord at the level of the 1st lumber vertebrae.
Spinal nerves arises from both sides of the spinal column, and leaves through the intervertebral foramina. A typical spinal nerve has two connections to the cord- a posterior root and the anterior root. Both these posterior and anterior roots unite to form a spinal nerve at the intervertebral foramen. Since the posterior root contains sensory axons and the anterior root contains motor neuron; all spinal nerves are classified as mixed nerve. The posterior root contains the posterior root ganglia in which the cell bodies of sensory neurons lies.
Just after leaving the intervertebral foramen, the spinal nerves divides into several branches. These branches are also called as rami. There are several types of rami
Axons from the anterior rami of spinal nerves, except from the thoracic nerves; do not directly go to the body surfaces they supply. Instead they form networks on both the left and right side of the body by joining with various axons of adjacent rami. Such a networks is known as plexuses. The various kinds of plexuses are as follows:
Its superficial branches supplies at the back structure and the side of head; deep branches supply muscles of neck; and phrenic nerve supplies the diaphragm, hence initiates inhalation.
Nerves that emerges from this plexus which are- axillary nerve, radial nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve and medial cutaneous nerve.
Sacral plexus is divided into a number of branches; these branches supplies the skin and muscles of pelvic floor, muscles around hip joint and pelvic organs. It also provides the sciatic nerve; the largest nerve in the body.
