Abstract :
Macro-anatomical structure and innervation areas of the Chinchilla s plexus lumbosacralis was investigated in this study. 6 adult male and 6 female healthy chinchillas were obtained from the producer. It was observed that the plexus lumbosacralis consists of the ventral roots of the last four lumbar (L3, L4, L5, L6) and the first two sacral (S1 and S2) spinal nerves ventral roots. Truncus lumbosacralis was essentially formed by L5, L6 and S1. N. cutaneus femoris lateralis and n. genitofemoralis started from at the same root with L3. In one female cadaver there was a fiber connection between n. genitofemoralis and ramus cutaneus ventralis which is a branch of n. ilioinguinalis s. N. femoralis and n. obturatorius s origin had the same root with L4. N. cutaneus femoris caudalis was formed essentially by S1 and it was making communication with the truncus lumbosacralis. In two male and one female cadaver it was formed by the truncus lumbosacralis. Originating from S1, n. pudendus joined immediately to the n. rectalis caudalis and branched from the later. N. rectalis caudalis was formed by S2.
