nerves supplying a joint also supply the muscles that move the joint or the skin covering their distal attachment.
iliohypogastric nerve
-supplies skin of lateral lower abdomen
lioinguinal nerve
-supplies skin of medial thigh and root of penis/upper scrotum or mons pubis and labia majora
genitofemoral nerve
genital L1: -cremaster muscle/reflex -skin of scrotum or mons pubis and labia majora femoral L2: anteromedial skin of thigh
L2-L3
lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
-supplies cutaneous innervation to anterolateral high
femoral nerve
L2-L4
- supplies motor to anterior musculature of thigh
