4.Sam’s dad was in a car accident in which his neck was broken. He survived the injury but is now paralyzed from the neck down. Explain why.

Answer 1

1.The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

2.The cerebral cortex is involved in a lot of high-level functions, like thinking, feeling, thinking about things, remembering, using language, and being aware.

3.Numerous essential aspects of life, including breathing, consciousness, blood pressure, heart rate, and sleep, are controlled by it. Numerous important clusters of white and gray matter can be found in the brainstem. Numerous significant brainstem nuclei are formed by the nerve cell bodies that make up the grey matter in the brainstem.

4.Without the function of your neck, you cannot send nerve impulses to the spinal cord. So there is nothing wrong with the brain and spinal cord, but they can no longer communicate.

Have a good day. *Don't join any online meetings lol*
