The group of nerves that extend down the back is called the spinal nerves. These nerves originate from the spinal cord and control sensation and movement in different parts of the body.

The nerves that carry activating impulses to the muscles of inspiration are primarily the phrenic nerves. These nerves originate from the cervical spinal cord (C3-C5) and innervate the diaphragm, the primary muscle of respiration. Additionally, the intercostal nerves, which arise from the thoracic spinal nerves, stimulate the intercostal muscles that assist in expanding the thoracic cavity during inhalation. Together, these nerves coordinate the process of breathing.
The spinal cord is directly attached to the spinal nerves, which emerge from the spinal cord and extend to various parts of the body. These nerves serve as crucial pathways for transmitting sensory information from the body to the brain and motor commands from the brain to the muscles. Additionally, the spinal cord itself is encased in the vertebral column and protected by cerebrospinal fluid, playing a vital role in reflex actions and coordination of movement.
The spinal cord is not a bone, it is a collection on nerves connecting the muscles of most of the body to the brain
