Injury at this level of the spinal cord might injure the phrenic nerve. This nerve supplies the diaphragm, which permits inspiration and expiration. If this nerve is damaged, the impulses no longer reach the diaphragm and the diaphragm stops contracting.
Next, the diaphragm gets involved. The diaphragm is a curved muscle in the shape of a half dome. It connects to the bottom of your ribs at the front of the thorax and then it curves back and downwards to join onto your lower back. The diaphragm separates your lungs which are above it, from your gut which is below it.
