Dorsal nerve of clitoris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.)
Latin	nervus dorsalis clitoridis
Gray's	subject #213 968
Innervates	clitoris
From	pudendal nerve

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

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.
