Its name means \u201chorse\u2019s tail,\u201d describing how the nerves fan out in the spinal canal. It is commonly discussed in spine care because these nerves control sensation and movement in the legs and important pelvic functions. Clinicians use the term when describing anatomy, interpreting MRI findings, and evaluating urgent neurologic symptoms."}
