Injury at this level of the spinal cord might injure the phrenic nerve. This nerve supplies the diaphragm, which permits inspiration and expiration. If this nerve is damaged, the impulses no longer reach the diaphragm and the diaphragm stops contracting.
Structure [edit]. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped structure of muscle and fibrous tissue that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomen. The dome curves upwards. The superior surface of the dome forms the floor of the thoracic cavity, and the inferior surface the roof of the abdominal cavity. As a dome, the diaphragm has peripheral attachments to structures that make up the abdominal and chest walls. The muscle fibres from these attachments converge in a central tendon, which forms the crest of the dome.
