The spinal cord is the mechanism by which your brain communicates with all the parts of your body, below the base of your skull. It's how you get your fingers to move when you're typing. Your toes to move while balancing. Your legs to move when running. Everything your body does is accomplished by your brain communicating with your body through the spinal cord. Even involuntary functions like your lungs breathing, your digestive functions, everything.

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. It is a bundle of nerves that passes through the bones of the vertebrae down the back. It sends sensations to the brain from the body, and returns motor commands to the various parts of the body.The spinal cord has a primary role in reflexes and in the autonomic nervous system.

The spinal cord provides a two way conduction pathway to and from the brain and is also a major reflex center: spinal reflexes are initiated and completed at the spinal cord level.
