Peripheral nervous system
Spinal nerves
Coccygeal plexus

The coccygeal plexus (plexus coccygeus) is formed by the anterior rami of the fifth sacral (S_V) and coccygeal (Со_І) nerves. It is located on the anterior surface of the coccygeus Muscle and the sacrospinous ligament. The coccygeal plexus gives rise to the anococcygeal nerves (nn. anococcygei), which innervate the Skin in the coccygeal and anal regions, as well as muscular branches (rr. musculares), which supply the coccygeus and sacroccygeal Muscles.
