These are grouped into 8 pairs of cervical nerves, 12 pairs of thoracic nerves, 5 pairs of lumbar nerves, 5 pairs of sacral nerves and 1 pair of coccygeal nerves.

这些脊神经分为8对颈神经、12对胸神经、5对腰神经、5对骶神经与1对尾神经。

And with the exception of a couple of sacral nerves near the tailbone that run to the bladder and genitals and rectum, most of these nerves never go through the spinal cord.

除了尾骨附近的一些骶骨神经延伸到膀胱、生殖器和直肠之外，大多数神经从未穿过脊髓。
