The brain will then start to atrophy and neurons will die. The spinal cord’s motor cells will start to change resulting in hypotonia‚ hyporeflexia‚ and weakness (McCance & Huether‚ 2014).

As the brain stem ascends from the spinal cord‚ it widens and becomes more complex in its structures‚ both internally and externally. There are three major regions make up the brain stem: medulla oblongata‚ pons‚ and midbrain. The medulla is the inferior-most region of the brain stem that connects the brain to the spinal cord. It is a tube very similar structurally to the spinal cord‚ but is wider and contains several masses
