Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons

the spinal cords role in reflexes is to help you move about when it is needed when reacting to a stimuli
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!

Reflexes help to maintain homeostasis by permitting the body to make exceedingly rapid adjustments to homeostatic imbalances (The Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves).

reflexes work very quickly, this is because your brain and spinal cord are processing data and information.
Superficial cord reflexes are the reflexes that happen when the body is exposed to pain. Superficial cord reflexes are centered in the spinal cord not the brain.

The spinal cord.
Spinal reflexes are involuntary movements produced by a single loop involving a sensory neuron, sometimes an intermediary neuron, and a motor neuron. A couple of examples include the deep tendon reflexes, such as the patellar reflex and the biceps reflex, and the reflex that causes one to recoil from painful stimuli, such as touching a hot surface.
The spinal cord serves as the center for reflexes. Reflexes don't enter the brain and all, which is a good thing because it is too slow for reflexes to work to protect us from harm.
