Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the spinal cord: The spinal cord is divided into regions based on the vertebrae it passes through. These regions are cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.

Learn the function of each spinal region: The cervical region is responsible for innervating the upper limbs, neck, and diaphragm. The thoracic region primarily innervates the chest and abdominal muscles. The lumbar and sacral regions innervate the lower limbs and pelvic organs.

Focus on the cervical region: The cervical spinal nerves (C1-C8) include nerves that control motor and sensory functions in the upper limbs, such as the arms, shoulders, and hands.

Understand the concept of innervation: Innervation refers to the supply of nerves to a specific body part. The cervical region provides the necessary nerve connections to the upper limbs.

Review the question and options: Based on the anatomy and function of the spinal cord regions, identify that the cervical region is the correct answer for innervating the upper limbs.
