The aim of the present study is to reveal the anatomical structure of lumbosacral plexus of barn owl. Six barn owls were included in the study. Nerves originating from plexus were dissected individually, and findings of innervation areas of nerves were determined. Lumbosacral plexus of barn owl was observed to be formed by ventral rami of ten synsacral spinal nerves. It was found that while the r. cutaneus femoris lateralis, the n. obturatorius, the n. coxalis cranialis, the r. cutaneus femoris medialis, the n. cutaneus femoris cranialis and the n. femoralis originated from the lumbar plexus, the n. isciofemoralis, the n. cutaneus femoris caudalis, the n. coxalis caudalis and the n. ischiadicus originated from the sacral plexus. Consequently, when the results of the study were compared with information of different avian species, it was observed that differences focused on the formation of the lumbar and sacral plexuses and innervation level of digits.
本研究的目的是揭示仓鸮腰骶丛的解剖结构。该研究纳入了六只仓鸮。对源自腰骶丛的神经进行单独解剖，并确定神经支配区域的情况。观察到仓鸮的腰骶丛由十对荐尾神经的腹侧支形成。研究发现，股外侧皮支、闭孔神经、股前神经、股内侧皮支、股前皮神经和股神经起源于腰丛，而坐骨股神经、股后皮神经、股后神经和坐骨神经起源于骶丛。因此，当将本研究结果与不同鸟类物种的信息进行比较时，发现差异集中在腰骶丛的形成以及趾的神经支配水平上。
