Arthur dove off a small cliff into water that was shallower thanhe expected and hit his head on a submerged object. He is nowa quadriplegic, meaning that both his upper and lower limbs areparalyzed. Approximately where is the location of his injury?What is the likelihood that Arthur will recover from this injury?(You may want to review section 14.4 and Clinical View 14.3:“Treating Spinal Cord Injuries” in section 14.5 to answer thelatter question.)

- John is having trouble moving his tongue. His physi- cian tells him it is due to pressure on a cranial nerve. Which cranial nerve is involved?arrow_forwardCallisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3. Autonomic nervous systemarrow_forwardCarpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of which nerve?arrow_forward
