What else can I help you with?
Why is a backboneimportant?
it keeps you standing, and it holds your spinal cord. Neurons are sent through the spinal cord to send and receive messages from the brain. That is part of your nervous system.
Why might an injury to the spinal cord result in paralysis?
The nervous system would not have a path through which to send messages to the brain.
What spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain?
The system that carries messages in your body, is the Nervous system.
What are the main organs in the nervous system and what are their functions?
The brain is the main organ in the nervous system. It is connected to the spinal cord to send messages through your nervous system to the rest of your body. Your nervous system is very sensitive it hurts when you touch it.
How are messages transmitted from your spinal cord to your heart?
autonomic nervous system
Messages are transmitted from your spinal cord to muscles in your hands by the?
Peripheral nervous system:
Why do messages not get mixed up passing through the spinal cord?
There are ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord. These tracts are nerve fibers bundled together. Messages going to the brain pass through the ascending tracts while messages coming from the brain pass through the descending tracts. These separate paths prevent messages from getting mixed up.
Tissue that carries messages from brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body?
nervous tissue
What parts of the nervous system that carry messages to the spinal cord up to the brain?
dendrtes
How does the spinal cord works?
The spinal cord transmits messages between the body and brain through nerve pathways.
Why does the spinal cord act differently from the brain?
The spinal cord is attached to the brain. It is how messages from the brain are sent to various locations along the nervous system.
What runs through the center of the vertebral column?
The spinal cord runs through the center of the vertebral column, protected by the vertebral bones. It is a crucial part of the central nervous system, responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Injury to the spinal cord can result in serious neurological deficits.
