Abstract | ||||
The origin, course and distribution of the pudendal nerve (N. pudendus) have been studied in the male goat. it is formed by the convergence of the ventral rami of the second, third and fourth sacral spinal nerves, mostly contributed by the third sacral segment. It receives an anastomotic slender ramus from the sciatic nerve near the lesser ischiatic foramen. The total fibre count and the diameter sp < /strong>ectra of the myelinated nerve fibres in the N. pudendus and its rami have also been investigated. The histograms of the fibres at the selected levels revealed distinct unimodality with a peak around 8-10 um. | ||||
