Traumatic injuries, such as that suffered by Christopher Reeves (an actor that portrayed Superman years ago) can affect a variety of functions of the body. The dysfunctions are dependent upon the level in the spinal cord the damage occurred and what aspect(s) of the cord is damaged. Describe the layout of the spinal cord for both sensory and motor areas (tracts). Also describe what is present in the grey matter ( the horns) Then as a follow-up, make up spinal cord injury, tell where the injury occurs, at what level of the spinal cord ( C2 vs. L2) and what would be the potential outcomes of that injury.
