Complete transection of the spinal cord at the C7 level produces all of the following effects, EXCEPT:
Hypotension
Limited respiratory effo
Anaesthesia below the level of the lesion
A-reflexia below the level of the lesion
Here since the lesion is at the level of C7 respiration is unlikely to be affected. The diaphragm is innervated by the phrenic nerve with a root value C3, 4, 5. Injury at this level can cause difficulty in respiration. Ref: Schwaz Pretest Surgery, Q. 709
