GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cervical spinal cord injuries usually cause loss of function in the arms and legs, resulting in quadriplegia and spinal cord paralysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -An injury higher on the spinal cord can cause paralysis in most of your body and affect all limbs (tetraplegia or quadriplegia). A lower injury to the spinal cord may cause paralysis affecting your legs and lower body (paraplegia).

Detailed explanation-3: -A spinal cord injury-damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal (cauda equina)-often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation and other body functions below the site of the injury.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spinal cord injuries are permanent because it’s direct damage to the nerves that send signals to the brain that controls many of our functions. While modern medicine can help partially heal some of those wounds and allow some with spinal injuries to lead independent lives, there are some injuries that are permanent.
