Spinal Cord

Question 2

The spinal cord is an important part of the central nervous system. It extends from neck to waist.
Its main function is to send information from the brain to the body and from to the body to the brain.
It controls reflex actions like salivation, knee jerk, blinking of eyes.
The spinal cord is connected to the periphery through 31 pairs of spinal nerves.
Each spinal nerve is joined to the spinal cord through two routes: the dorsal and ventral routes.
If dorsal routes are injured, we will not have sensations while if ventral routes are injured, we will not be able to move our body and control reflex actions.
