Question

Which branch of the Lumbar Plexus do you see medial to the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine?

a) Femoral nerve
b) Obturator nerve
c) Ilioinguinal nerve
d) Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

Answer 1

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is the branch of the Lumbar Plexus that is located medial to the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The branch of the Lumbar Plexus that you see medial to the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. The lumbar plexus arises from all the lumbar spinal nerves and gives rise to nerves enervating the pelvic region and the anterior leg, including the femoral nerve which is a major nerve from this plexus. However, the nerve found medial to the anterior superior iliac spine is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which provides sensation to the skin of the lateral thigh.
