All can...but I believe lumbar provides a more direct route.

Mainly the dorsal horn.

I think its the lumbar region. This link shows a diagram, giving details of spinal cord structure, and the various areas of nerve functions. http://www.spinalinjury.net/html/_spinal_cord_101.html

All can because all nerves travel the length of the spine. I had severe problems with my hips and it was made better by chainging my atlas, way up top.

Complete paraplegia is described as permanent loss of motor and nerve function at T1 level or below, resulting in loss of sensation and movement in the legs, bowel, bladder, and sexual region. Arms and hands retain normal function. Incomplete spinal cord injuries are more common than complete injuries, and are characterized by some degree of sensation and movement below the point of injury. http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injuries/index.html
