               THE SPINAL CORD

                     The spinal cord is a cord like structure made up of a column of nerve fibres responsible for
                       sending and receiving messages from the brain, runs through the spinal canal to the lower
                       end of the backbone.
                      It is through the spinal cord and its branching nerves that the brain influences the rest of
                       the body, controlling movement and organ function.

               Important functions of Spinal Cord are mentioned below:

                     Forms a connecting link between the brain and the other parts of the body.
                     Provides structural support and builds a body posture.

                     Facilitates flexible movements.

                     Communicates messages from the brain to different parts of the body.
                     Receives sensory information from receptors and approaches towards the brain for
                       processing.
