interventions: Paralyzed

Paralyzed, an intervention with brain stem
Reflexes—are simple responses of an organism to a stimulus such as the contraction of the pupil in response to bright light or the spasmodic movement of the lower leg when the knee is tapped. The brain stem sits beneath the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum. It connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord, which runs down your neck and back. The brain stem is in charge of all the functions your body needs to stay alive, like breathing air, digesting food, and circulating blood
