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.
Spinal Column â Function and Elements. The spinal column is responsible for performing a number of tasks, each of which is made possible thanks to the different anatomical elements that comprise the spine. One of these elements includes the vertebrae, which are individual stacked bones that serve to protect the spinal cord and support the body. A number of day-to-day functions, such as walking, sitting and breathing, would not be possible without the protective and supportive functions of the spinal column.
