Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An injury to the spinal cord in the neck area can result in quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down), because nerve impulses are not able to travel past the neck. Paraplegia is a result of injury further down the spinal cord. Hemiplegia is a result of brain cell death on one side of the brain. Lou Gehrig disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a nerve disorder.
