العصب: Spinal nerve | |
---|---|
The formation of the spinal nerve from the posterior and anterior roots | |
Latin | nervus spinalis |
العصب الشوكي أو العصب النخاعي أو العصب الفقري (بالإنجليزية: Spinal nerves) هي الأعصاب الناشئة من النخاع الشوكي على عكس الأعصاب القحفية التي تنشأ من الدماغ. وتعتبر الأعصاب الشوكية جزء من الجهاز العصبي المحيطي.
يحوي جسم الإنسان على 31 زوج من الأعصاب الشوكية, حيث يخرج كل عصب شوكي من بين فقرتين في العمود الفقري.

Structure
Regional nerves
Cervical nerves
Lumbar nerves
The lumbar nerves are the five spinal nerves emerging from the lumbar vertebrae. They are divided into posterior and anterior divisions.
Posterior divisions: The medial branches of the posterior divisions of the lumbar nerves run close to the articular processes of the vertebrae and end in the multifidus muscle.
The laterals supply the erector spinae muscles.
Sacral nerves
Function
Clinical significance
The muscles that one particular spinal root supplies are that nerve's myotome, and the dermatomes are the areas of sensory innervation on the skin for each spinal nerve. Lesions of one or more nerve roots result in typical patterns of neurologic defects (muscle weakness, abnormal sensation, changes in reflexes) that allow localization of the responsible lesion.
There are several procedures used in sacral nerve stimulation for the treatment of various related disorders.
Sciatica is generally caused by the compression of lumbar nerves L4, or L5 or sacral nerves S1, S2, or S3, or by compression of the sciatic nerve itself
