Paralysis of the muscles of the face, arm, and leg on one side of the body is called hemiplegia (hemi means half) and usually results from damage to the opposite side of the brain. Damage to the nerves of the spinal cord affects different parts of the body, depending on the amount of damage and where it occurred.Paralysis of both lower limbs is called paraplegia, and paralysis of both arms and both legs is called quadriplegia.eft to right: Spinal cord showing regions (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, etc.) and nerves; hemiplegia; paraplegia; and quadriplegia. Guillain-Barre (gee-YAN ba-RAY) syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own cells attack the insulation and core of the nerve fibers, beginning in the hands and feet.
A Dr. William Salt, MD, Gastroenterology, answered. The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) has nerve fibers that originate in the cranial (top) and sacral (bottom) segments of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic branch calms the body, which is the precise opposite of the sympathetic branch. The parasympathetic system promotes routine activities, such as digesting your food. It slows the heart rate, whereas the sympathetic system speeds it up. It sends blood to the digestive tract, while the sympathetic system sends it to the muscles. The parasympathetic nervous system secretes the neurochemical acetylcholine, which is the key leading to relaxation.
