The key takeaways are the anatomy and functions of the major nerves of the lumbosacral plexus, branches of the sacral plexus, and blood vessels of the lower limb as described in the text.

The major nerves of the lumbosacral plexus are the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, obturator, and femoral nerves. The text describes their motor innervations and cutaneous distributions.

The major branches of the sacral plexus are the superior and inferior gluteal nerves, the nerves to the obturator internus and quadratus femoris muscles, the sciatic nerve, and the pudendal nerve. The text outlines their motor functions.
