Understanding the Division of Spinal Cord Regions and its Impact on Nerve Functionality and Body Parts Affected by Injury or Disease

True or False: The spinal cord regions are determined by the location of the spinal nerve and NOT the level of the cord.

False. The spinal cord regions are determined by the level of the cord and not the location of the spinal nerve. The spinal cord is divided into four regions based on the location of where the nerves exit: cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), and sacral (pelvic area). Each region has a specific set of nerves that exit at that level of the spinal cord. Therefore, the level of the cord is important in determining which nerves and body parts are affected by injury or disease.
