Question

Which signals get disrupted during spinal cord injury?

Answer 1

Spinal cord injury:

1. The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system.
2. The spinal cord's principal role is to transmit sensory impulses from receptors to the brain and motor impulses from the brain to effectors.
3. Spinal cord injury can happen due to damage to ligaments, vertebrae, or disks of the spinal column or the spinal cord itself.
4. An injury to the spinal cord can affect the impulses of the somatic motor to different parts of the body.
5. The spinal injury would hamper the reflex actions as well.
