Where are these nerves located on this nerve root diagram?

  1. tibial
  2. common peroneal nerve
  3. superior gluteal nerve
  4. femoral nerve
This image demonstrates a diagram of spinal nerves branching from the spinal cord. The diagram provides a visual representation of how these nerves originate and branch at different levels of the spine.

- **T12**: Represents the 12th thoracic vertebra.
- **L1 to L5**: Correspond to the lumbar vertebrae, numbered from the first lumbar (L1) to the fifth lumbar (L5).
- **S1 to S3**: Indicate the sacral nerves, from the first sacral nerve (S1) to the third sacral nerve (S3).

Each pair of nerves exits from the spinal cord at its corresponding vertebral level. The diagram highlights the branching of these nerves, showing their progression from the thoracic region down to the sacral region, illustrating the complexity and structure of the nervous system as it extends through the vertebral column.
