Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spinal cord injury in a traffic accident is a typical "upper neuron injury" due to the damage to the neuron pathways that originate in the brain and travel down the spinal cord. This type of injury can result in paralysis, spasticity, and loss of sensation below the level of the injury. Polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, and lead poisoning are all examples of lower motor neuron injuries.
