The spinal cord is a collection of nerves, surrounded and protected by bone (the spine). Muscles attach to the spine to maintain posture and the integrity of the system.
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body. It allows the brain to send and receive signals to and from organs and tissue all throughout the body.

∙ 14y agoNo, the spinal cord is a group of nerves, hence nervous tissue, each surrounded by a myelin sheath and the whole cord bathed in cerebral spinal fluid and surrounded by a thecal sac or membrane. It is contained in the spinal canal which is the space inside each stacked up vertebrae making up the backbone or spine.

What type of muscle is the spinal cord?
The Spinal Column is a nerve.
Where is the center for muscle tonus?
spinal cord
What is the relationship between spinal cord injury and spasticity?
Spinal cord injury prevents the brain from telling the muscle to relax. The result is prolonged muscle contraction or spasticity.
Incomplete spinal cord injury?
An incomplete spinal cord injury happens when only part of the spinal cord is damaged. This will result in a variety of residual muscle control, sensation or both.
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to initiate the stretch reflex?
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to indicate the stretch reflex
What cells are in the spinal cord?
The tissue in the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue.
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
What type of muscle requires your brain to tell them to operate?
Your nerves and spinal cord.
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.
What organ protects the spinal cord?
Your vertebral column protects the spinal cord. Vertebral column is supported by strong ligaments. Most importantly the muscle tone is there, which act on vertebral column, to protect your spinal cord.
What sends messages to your brain and spinal cord and muscle cells?
Synapses let the "message" travel to muscle cells.
