Part D - Nerve Distribution of the Lumbar and Sacral Plexuses Assign each nerve to the plexus from which it originates. The names of the nerves are often helpful when considering their target regions. - Obturator nerve - Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve - Genitofemoral nerve - Tibial nerve - Ilio-inguinal nerve - Peroneal nerve - Sciatic nerve Lumbar plexus Sacral plexus
