4.List the main physiological actions of thyroid hormones. IV.CASE (10%) Gunshot Wound An 18-year-old high school senior was shot in the left thigh as he left school. On examination in the hospital emergency room,he was found to have weakness of his ankle dorsiflexors,evertors,and invertors,toe flexors,and hamstring muscles. He had sensory loss over the lateral aspect of the leg,the dorsal sole of the foot, and the sole of the foot.The sciatic nerve was exposed surgically and found to be severe D.A nerve graft was used to repair the interruption.At a subsequent visit to his physician several weeks later,the weakness was present,and the muscle supplied by the sciatic nerve showed marked atrophy.Electromyography in several of these muscles revealed an absence of motor unit discharges,but frequent fibrillations.Over the next year,there was progressive proximal to distal recovery of some motor function,but there was some residual weakness. 1.What caused the weakness in the left lower extremity? 2.What caused the sensory loss? 3.Would there also be autonomic changes in the left leg? 4.Why did the muscles supplied by the sciatic nerve undergo atrophy? 5.Why were there no motor unit potentials several weeks after the injury?Why were there fibrillations at this time?How can fibrillations be distinguished from motor unit potentials by electromyography?
