A) Nerve plexuses occur in the cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral regions. B) Nerve plexuses involve only the dorsal rami. C) Nerve plexuses are interlacing nerve networks, so that each branch of a plexus contains fibers from several spinal nerves. D) Because of nerve plexuses, each muscle in a limb receives its nerve supply from more than one spinal nerve. E) Because of nerve plexuses, damage to a single spinal segment or root cannot completely paralyze any limb muscle.
