Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cervical region of the spinal cord is located in the neck and controls signals to the arms, abdomen, and legs. If there is an injury to the cervical region, paralysis or loss of sensation in these areas can occur. The other regions of the spinal cord (thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccyx) control signals to other parts of the body.
