The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves, which serves the purpose of relaying sensory and motor messages between the body and brain. In the case of spinal cord injury, parts of the body are paralyzed when the motor messages from the brain cannot pass through the injury site on the spinal cord. Feeling is lost when sensory messages cannot pass the injury site to be processed by the brain.
