The spinal cord coordinates the body's movement and sensation. Therefore, an injured cord loses the ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body's systems that control sensory, motor, and autonomic function below the level of injury. Often, this results in some level of paralysis.
Head injury: When a part of the brain that controls specific muscles is damaged because of head injury, paralysis occurs. Spinal cord injury: The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system and its function is to transmit signals to and from the brain and other parts of the body.When the spinal cord is damaged because of the neck or spine injury, the brain cannot transmit signals to the muscles resulting in paralysis.Accidents, falls, and even certain disease can cause damage to the spinal cord.hen the spinal cord is damaged because of the neck or spine injury, the brain cannot transmit signals to the muscles resulting in paralysis.
