What are the functions of spinal cord?

Answer 1

The spinal cord is basically the "information highway of the body." Messages are sent back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body via the spinal cord. This information includes touch, temperature, pain, joint position and signals telling muscles to move. Our spinal cord allows us to perform reflex actions; during the time of an emergency the signals instead of going all the way to our brain go to the spinal cord so that the time lapse decreases. The spinal cord is made up of neural pathways. In order for a message to go from the brain to the body, that message, or impulse, is passed from neuron to neuron through junctions called synapses. This process continues until the message reaches its final destination, such as muscle, gland, or other non-neural cell.

Answer 2

the spinal cord or the back bone works as the primary support to your upper body and also as is the important part of the neurological system.
touch, temperature, pain, and signals telling muscles to move.

Answer 3

function 1- spinal cord controls certain reflexes which are automatic responses

function 2- connects the nerves of the peripheral nervous system with the brain impulses reaching the spinal cored form sensory neurons travel up the cord through interneurons to the brain

Answer 4

It carries nerve impulses from the brain to the body, and back to the brain.
