Not directly. Th spinal cord carries nerve signals to and from the brain. Some of those signals go to nerves that stimulate muscle movement.
Yes. They are called reflexes.
You have a spinal cord so information and signals can get through it and into your brain.
Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do
The frog's spinal cord relays motor signals from the brain to the muscles of the body, and sensory information from the body to the brain.

In short, Yes.A majority of the "signals" that travel through the ventral roots are motor "signals" going out to the periphery from the spinal cord. As such, the signals have already "reached" the spinal cord from the brain or another region of the spinal cord.Thus, A ventral root lesion will interrupt signals from reaching the periphery.
Interneurons are too slow at sending signals through spinal cord.

the Spinal cord
Messages are transmitted from your spinal cord to muscles in your hands by nerves. These nerves connect and interpret feelings.
In the case of spinal cord injuries there are two sets of signals that will be disrupted. These are the signals that originate from the nerves and the ones that go to the receptors.
The spinal cord is basically the "information highway of the body", back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body. This information includes touch, temperature, pain, and signals telling muscles to move.It also supports the cells of brain.
