An accident resulting in transection of the structure identified here (small round white area in middle lower area) will most likely be manifested by:
1. peritonitis
2. pitting edema
3. paraplegia
4. callus formation
5. hemoperitoneum













Answer #3: paraplegia, why? This is the thoracic spinal cord, and transection will prevent transmission of motor impulses distal from the site of injury, leading to paraplegia with inability to move the legs.
