[25 pts] Why could a spinal injury leave someone paralyzed? Please provide an explanation! Thanks :)

a spinal injury could include pressure on the spine and swelling that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves which can produce paralyizing problems. also a broken disk can put pressure and block the nerve endings which may be severed to promote conduction between the nerves causing paralyizing effects.

Explanation:

A spinal cord injury (SCI) causes damage to the spinal cord in its function.  Injuries can result anywhere from a simple pain to complete loss of sensation. A spinal injury can leave someone paralyzed because it is known as the brains relay system. So, if the brain can’t relay its messages to the rest of the body it May be paralyzed. One example would be T4 on the right and T6 on the left side of your body with little to no function.
