Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
The nerve that is damaged when a woman is unable to adduct the thigh.
Introduction:
The thigh is the part of the leg in the human body. It lies between the hip and the knee. Adduction means drawing a limb towards the body.
(b)
To determine:
The nerve that is damaged when a woman is unable to extend the knee.
Introduction:
The knee is considered as one of the biggest and most complicated joints in the body. It combines the thigh bone to the shin bone.
(c)
To determine:
The nerve that is damaged when a woman is unable to flex the knee.
Introduction:
The knee joint is made up of the smaller bones that pass beside the tibia and the kneecap. It is one of the biggest and most complicated joints in the body.
(d)
To determine:
The nerve that is damaged when there is loss of sensation from the skin of the anterior thigh of a woman.
Introduction:
The thigh is the region that lies between the pelvis and the knee in human anatomy. It belongs to the lower limb. The single bone present in the thigh is known as the femur.
(e)
To determine:
The nerve that is damaged when there is loss of sensation from the skin of the medial thigh of a woman.
Introduction:
The thigh belongs to the lower limb. It is the region that lies between the pelvis and the knee in human anatomy. The thigh is divided into three compartments separated by fascia.
