The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cauda Equina**: The cauda equina is a bundle of spinal nerves and nerve roots located in the lower back. It consists of the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerve roots that extend from the spinal cord. 2. **Identifying the Components of Cauda Equina**: The cauda equina includes: - Lumbar spinal nerves (specifically from the 5th lumbar nerve pair) - Sacral spinal nerves (from the 1st to the 5th sacral nerve pairs) - Coccygeal nerves 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The question asks which spinal nerve is not part of the cauda equina. The options typically include: - Sacral spinal nerves - Lumbar spinal nerves - Thoracic spinal nerves 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Sacral spinal nerves**: These are part of the cauda equina, so this option is incorrect. - **Lumbar spinal nerves**: These are also part of the cauda equina, so this option is incorrect as well. - **Thoracic spinal nerves**: These nerves are located higher up in the spinal column and do not contribute to the cauda equina. 5. **Conclusion**: The spinal nerve that is not part of the cauda equina is the **thoracic spinal nerves**. **Final Answer**: Thoracic spinal nerves ---
