The lower extremities are most easily and readily affected. The foot drop from cerebral palsy and Parkinson's Disease, and the neuropathies from Diabetes and Alcoholism all affect the lower extremities before any other part of the body.

There are many complications resulting from paralysis, which can prove to be fatal.

How do you relate the levels of organ systems to each other and to the whole system or organism?

Every organ system is separate but interrelated to the whole.The organism can survive if there is injury or disease in an organ system, in most cases, but every injury or disease also affects all the other organ systems and the organism as a whole. So if you have a pancreatic disease like Diabetes in the digestive system, eventually it will affect the heart in the circulatory system. If a person has full-thickness burn injuries (skin), it will immediately affect other systems, especially circulatory (immediately). If you have an injury resulting in paralysis below chest level, it will affect the Digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, and can even affect skin throughout the body.The organism cannot survive, however, if one complete organ system cannot function. If the heart is injured the body can die. If the liver is too diseased, the body will die. If the lungs cannot function, the body will die. And of course, when something major attacks or damages the brain, all organ systems will fail.
