Segmental innervation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Segmental innervation refers to the distribution (innervation) of nerves within an organ or muscle. These nerves are attached to a segment of the spine.[1]

Segmental innervation can be mapped through stimulation of the nerve at the spinal segment.[2]
