A 23-year-old man is stabbed in a bar fight. The blade of the
knife enters his chest in the left 5th intercostal space, just lat-
eral to the sternum, and pierces to a depth of approximately 4
cm. What structure is most likely damaged?
(A) Left lung
(B) Pulmonary trunk
(C) Left bronchus
(D) Stomach
(E) Pericardium
Name the artery that can be palpated between the tendons of the flexorcarpi radialis and the brachioradialis?
If the left ulnar artery were cut, would any blood be able to reach the left hand and fingers? Why or why not?
