The primary role of the genitofemoral nerve can be divided into two key aspects: sensory and motor functions. The genital branch provides sensory innervation to the skin of the scrotum in males and the labia majora in females, allowing for sensation in these areas. It also supplies motor fibers to the cremaster muscle, which elevates the testes during sexual arousal or when the temperature is cold, helping to regulate temperature for optimal sperm production. The femoral branch, on the other hand, extends sensory innervation to the upper anterior thigh, contributing to the overall sensation in this area. The combined function of these branches makes the genitofemoral nerve integral in both sexual health and the sensory experience of the groin region.
