A person has been bedridden for months and is incapable of changing position due to being paralyzed. Eventually, a portion of his back developed necrosis. Necrosis is a condition which is characterized by usually localized death of a living tissue. What do you think is the reason why this happened, given the fact that the person is unable to change his lying position? _______________________________________________________________________________
