Like when you hear about somebody being paralyzed from the neck/waist down, what’s behind that? Also, why is it so commonly those two spots?
In: Biology
Legs and arms are the obvious things when paralyzed.
It depends on where the damage is. The nerves for the arms won’t be damaged if you’re spine is severed in your lower back.
Arms also require some nerves to make it, like the heart and lungs, or else the damage is fatal and not just paralyzing.
