Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effects on the body, by the transection of spinal cord at segment C7 and T10.
Introduction:
Spinal cord is a long cord like structure, found in the neural canal of vertebral column in an elongated form. The spinal cord flow down the centre of the back and it ends near the pelvic region.
