Why would damage to the nervous tissue in the spinal cord lead to paralysis? Damage results in the loss of signals to muscles to produce movement. Damage results in the inability of the body to differentiate between voluntary and involuntary movement. Damage results in the inability of the body to produce connective tissue to support movement. Damage results in the decreased production of actin and myosin for contraction.

Answer:Damage results in the loss of signals to muscles to produce movement. As we know all the motor nerve goes through the spinal chord

Destruction of nerve fibres that carry motor nerve from brain to muscles are main reason of paralysis. The whole of the body gets paralysed and the body functions are imparted. The person cannot walk properly and sometimes the memory loss (partial dementia) can also take place.
