Spinal Cord


Above is a picture of your spinal cord. I am going to list Ron's injuries to his spinal cord below.
C=Cervical Vertebrae
T=Thoracic Vertebrae
L=Lumbar Vertebrae
-C 6 & 7 are fractured.
-T 1 & 2 are fractured.
-T 8 & 10 have a body fracture. (The body fracture is where the body is out of line with the spinal column.)
-T 8, 9, & 10 are fractured.
-Between T 12 and L 1 the spinal cord was completly dislocated. (The spine is severed.)
-L 1 is shattered.
-L 2, 3, & 4 are fractured.
