Evelyn Dodson · Answer 2

The correct answers are options B) "Pressure is lost in the left leg", C) "Pain is lost in the left leg" and F) "Fine touch is lost in the right leg".

Explanation:

A persons that had experienced damage only in the entire right half of the cervical spinal cord will suffer from pressure and pain lost in the left leg and fine touch lost in the right leg. Lesions in the right half of the cervical spinal cord result in loss of pain and temperature sense on the left side, while the lost of fine touch is the only sense that is affected in the right side of the body.
