The vertebral column continues to grow, extending beyond the cord. The end of the cord is visible as the conus medularis near L1 and the cauda equina extends the remainder of the column.

Do reflexes occur in the spinal cord?
the spinal cords role in reflexes is to help you move about when it is needed when reacting to a stimuli
What is the withdraw reflex?
a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
What relays sensory stimuli from the spinal cord and midbrain to the cerebral cortex.?
thalamus.
What is the main purpose of the nervous systems?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. It's main purpose is to gather, store, and respond to information and stimuli.
What is responsible for the integration of simple responses to certain stimuli such as the patellar reflex?
spinal cord
Where does the processing of most stimuli typically occur?
the brain <><><><><> Also, reflexes are processed in the spinal cord.

Path way of the message to the nervous system?
The stimuli will be picked up by the sensory neurons then nerve impulses travel to your spinal cord. Those nerve impulses return to motor neurons that will react (like you pull your hand away, or you yell) as you react the nerve impulses travel to your brain.
What is the usual path of message received by the body from the environment?
sense organ-nerves-spinal cord-brain
How the nervous system ensures you can respond to changes in the environment?
the nervous system ensures you that it respond to changes because nervous system has the system of cell tissues and organs thregulates the body's responses to internal and external stimuli. In vertebrates it consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia, and parts of the receptor and effector organs. and why do you ask question your not studying your lesson
What are the side effects of spinal nerve damage?
Damage to the spinal nerve roots can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, and paresthesia (abnormal sensations in the absence of stimuli) in the limbs or trunk.
The relays sensory stimuli from the spinal cord and midbrain to the cerebral cortex?
cranial nerves are part of what nervous system
