the injured vertebrae or secondary injury from the deleterious effects of cardiovascular instability or respiratory insufficiency.PathophysiologyThe spinal cord is divided into 31 segments‚ each with a pair of anterior (motor) and dorsal (sensory) spinal nerve roots. On each side‚ the anterior and dorsal nerve roots combine to form the spinal nerve as it exits from the vertebral column through the neuroforamina.
