I have an assignment about spondylosis of the lumbar spine, and I have to mention the normal anatomy of the lumbar spine. I'd like help with what nerves are involved in the lumbar spine. Thanks in advance.

Together, your spinal cord and your brain make up your central nervous system, which controls most of the functions of your body. Your spinal cord runs approximately 15 to 17 inches from the base of your brain to your waist and is composed of long nerve fibers that carry messages to and from your brain. These nerve fibers feed into nerve roots that emerge between your vertebrae — the 33 bones that surround your spinal cord and make up your backbone. There, the nerve fibers organize into peripheral nerves that extend to the rest of your body.

The spinal nerve roots of the lumbar spine give rise to the large peripheral nerves that feed the pelvis (and its organs), groin, and legs.

Many nerves are involved due to the 'nerve roots'. The spinal cord stops at T12/L1 and then the nerves take off. Any good anatomy site will show you.

Check this site, it might give you an idea, (it doesn't have the names, but does have functions):
