Nerve: Dorsal nerve of clitoris

Sacral plexus of the right side. (Dorsal nerve of penis visible at bottom left, and dorsal nerve of clitoris follows similar path.)

Deep and superficial dissection of the lumbar plexus. (Same note as above.)

The dorsal nerve of the clitoris is a nerve in females that branches off the pudendal nerve to innervate the clitoris.

Structure[]

The dorsal nerve of the clitoris is analogous to the dorsal nerve of the penis in males. It is a terminal branch of the pudendal nerve.

v·d·e Nerves of lower limbs and lower torso: the lumbosacral plexus
Lumbar plexus	Lumbar plexus: iliohypogastric - ilioinguinal - genitofemoral (femoral branch/lumboinguinal, genital branch) - lateral cutaneous of thigh (patellar) - obturator (anterior, cutaneous, posterior, accessory) - femoral (anterior cutaneous branches, saphenous)
Sacral/coccygeal plexus	to quadratus femoris - to obturator internus - to the piriformis - superior gluteal - inferior gluteal - posterior cutaneous of thigh (inferior cluneal, perineal branches) sciatic: tibial (medial sural cutaneous, sural, medial calcaneal, medial plantar, lateral plantar) - common fibular (lateral sural cutaneous, deep fibular, superficial fibular, medial dorsal cutaneous, intermediate dorsal cutaneous)
Pudendal plexus	perforating cutaneous - pudendal (dorsal of the penis/clitoris, inferior anal, perineal and posterior scrotal/labial) - anococcygeal
Also	Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs
