If the spinal column becomes damaged, it can lead to a range of serious consequences, including loss of sensation, mobility, and reflexes below the injury site. This damage can result in conditions such as paralysis, which may be partial (paresis) or complete (paraplegia or quadriplegia), depending on the severity and location of the injury. Additionally, damage to the spinal column can disrupt critical bodily functions, including respiratory and autonomic functions, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. Prompt medical intervention is essential to minimize long-term effects and improve outcomes.

What part of the body is damaged if you are paralized?
Usually, it'll be in the spinal column.
What is posterior herniation?
Posterior herniation is when a disc in the spine becomes damaged and bulges outward from the spinal column toward the back. Common causes are work related injury and age.
What would happen to you if the middle of your spinal cord was damaged?
you will be paralized
Who has a spinal column?
All animals with a spinal chord have a spinal column to protect it. The spinal column is often referred to as the "back bone", so only vertebrates have one.
How many bones are there in a spinal column?
There are 7 bones that are formed at the top of the spinal column.
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damaged?
Loss of both motor and sensory function
What would happen if the anterior ramus of the spinal nerve is damaged or transected?
The end organ or muscle innervated by that particular spinal nerve component would atrophy.
What are the main functions of the spinal column?
The spinal cord sends messages to the brain,if we didn't have a spinal cord we couldn't do anything
What happens when the spinal cord is damaged?
When your spinal cord is damaged you may not be able to walk
What is a spinal column?
What are spinal columns? they have an electrical wiring
What would happen if your spine breaks?
Depends on the severity of the breakage. Breaking your back isn't the biggest problem; your spinal column is meant to protect your spinal cord. Problems arise if your spinal column is wrecked enough that it affects the spinal cord (such as a broken spinal column slicing right through the spinal cord. This is why if you shouldn't try to move someone if you think their back is broken, because there's a chance you could do more damage). If the spinal cord is left intact, you could heal without any sort of neurological problems, but it takes quite some time and you have to be very careful while waiting for your back to heal. If the spinal cord is damaged, there is a chance for neurological damage, as well as partial or complete paralysis. The degree of paralysis depends on the location of the damage (roughly: at around the neck, quadriplegia; below, paraplegia).
What is the difference between spinal column and vertebral column?
because during the growth of human beings the vertebral column outgrows the spinal chord. that's why we don't find the spinal cord starting from lower lumbar region where lumbar puncture is done.
