C) Nerve plexuses are interlacing nerve networks, so that each branch of a plexus contains fibers from several spinal nerves. D) Because of nerve plexuses, each muscle in a limb receives its nerve supply from more than one spinal nerve. E) Because of nerve plexuses, damage to a single spinal segment or root cannot completely paralyze any limb muscle.

She had taken three exams, and as if that wasn't stressful enough, her sister was ill and Amanda had to spend much of her time helping out at home. By the end of the week, Amanda decided to go to the beach for a walk and some genuine relaxation. The day was warm and Amanda took off her shoes so she could walk barefoot and feel the sand between her toes. Halfway down the beach, she stepped on something extremely sharp and withdrew her foot in pain. As Amanda hopped around the sand on one foot, rubbing the other to ease the pain, she decided to put her shoes back on.

- What are the main functions of the spinal cord?arrow_forward3) Lucas is a 40-year old man who sustained a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in a snow skiing accident 10 years ago. The level of his injury is at C6 – he preserved function below that neurologic level. He cannot walk and he also has some impairment in the arms and hands. He is still able to use a manual wheelchair with his upper limbs’ ability. Lucas is interested in the HandbikeBattle coming up in 2024. This organized event boosts self-confidence and fitness in those who have completed rehabilitation after an injury. Lucas wishes to train this year so that he can think of going to that event. Lucas may need a power-assisted handcycle for the event, but will train with you to be properly prepared. He has not been as active in the past 5 years as he dedicated himself to his work and family and his recovery in rehab. He has a handcycle and a roller as shown below and you have agreed to meet with him to ensure he is performing safely and correctly during his weekly sessions.  a) What…arrow_forwardAn adult patient was born with cerebral palsy.
