Anthony gets into a fight between rival gangs As an attacker comes at him with a knife, he turns to flee, but stumbles. The attacker stabs him on the medial side of the right gluteal fold and Anthony collapses. He loses all use of his right limb, being unable to extend his hip, flex his knee, or move his toot. He never fully recovers these lost function. Explain what nerve injury Anthony has most likely suffered.

- A man arrived into a traumatological department with a trauma of the right shoulder. Examination revealed a displaced humeral shaft fracture on the right in the middle one-third of the humerus; the patient cannot extend the fingers of his right hand. What nerve is damaged? Radial Ulnar Median Musculocutaneous Axillaryarrow_forwardwoman presents to the emergency department with loss of muscle function on the right side of her body. The physician suspects she had suffered a stroke (a blood clot in the brain). On which side of the patient’s brain did the stroke likely occur? Explainarrow_forwardWhich is a symptom of upper motor neuron lesion Absence of all tendon reflexes Flaccid paralysis Presence is fasciculations Abnormal plantar reflexarrow_forward
- When motor nerve fibers in the leg are severed, the muscles they innervate become paralyzed; however, in time, control over the muscles often returns. Why/how is this possible?arrow_forwardXena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus also suffers damage to his spinal cord during the accident. Compare the likely degree of regeneration/recovery of his spinal cord with that of the injured skeletal muscles and describe the consequences of your observations for his quality of life and ability to remain active.arrow_forwardThe conduction velocities for the Achille's tendon reflex and the Patellar tendon reflex should be similar. Why?arrow_forward
- Walter has a spinal cord injury. Dermatome testing shows that he has no feeling below his waist on his left side. Myotome testing shows he has complete movement throughout his body on both sides. What part of the spinal cord is likely injured?arrow_forwardInjury of which nerve could cause paralysis of the serratusanterior muscle?arrow_forwardRadial nerve (easily viewed in the proximal posterior arm between long and lateral heads of triceps brachii) The radial nerve innervates the: brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis longus and brevis, and extensor indicis. What is the name of the muscle compartment that houses most of these muscles? ____________________.arrow_forward
- John Jones injured his spinal cord. He has use of his serratus anterior muscle, biceps brachii, and deltoid. However, he does not have movement in most muscles of his hand and digits 4 and 5. Where is his spinal cord injury?arrow_forwardanterior surface of the thigh would indicate a lesion or compression of which nerve? femoral nerve sciatic nerve obturator nerve anterior nervearrow_forwardThe sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body.
