spinal cord
The knee and elbow reflexes
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
Reflexes involve a sensory neuron that detects a stimulus, an interneuron in the spinal cord that processes the information, and a motor neuron that sends the response signal to the muscle or gland. These three neurons work together in a reflex arc to produce a rapid and involuntary response to a stimulus.
Yes. Even though the spinal cord is severed, all the reflexes still work both above and below the severed spinal cord.

Reflexes help to maintain homeostasis by permitting the body to make exceedingly rapid adjustments to homeostatic imbalances (The Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves).
The spinal cord relays messages between the brain and body, making it possible to move and fell sensation.
