The nervous system carries electrical impulses to the brain and the rest of the body. Think of it as the electrical wiring of the human body. The brain is the computer. The computer brain controls the nervous system electrical wires and electrical messages are sent all over the human body. The spinal cord is the main wiring place. It is like a main cable that hooks up to smaller and smaller nerve wires. If any nerves are ever severed anywhere the nerves will no longer carry electrical messages. Here is an example. I had surgery 5 times in my abdomen. The nerves around the incision were cut. There is no feeling around that incision anymore because the nerves were severed too many times. So those tiny nerves no longer work. If you sever the spinal nerves completely you will be paralyzed because messages from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain can no longer send and receive electrical messages.
