Question

A race car driver injures the right ventral root of his first lumbar vertebrate during a car crash. What major functions could be lost due to his injury? (3 points)Movement in his lower extremities

Sensation in his left lower extremities

Movement in his upper extremities

Sensation in the right section of his upper body

Answer 1

Answer: Movement in his lower extremities
The lower extremity is the part of the body from the hip to the toes (ie. hip, knee, and ankle joints, and the bones of the thigh, leg, and foot). They are the areas whose function will be affected by injury in the right ventral root of his first lumbar vertebrate. The damage will not affect other body functions such as sensation but instead the movement of the muscles. There will be weakness or paralysis in the muscles in the particular area of the body.
