Answer:

Explanation:

Spinal cord is made of tissue and it runs from the medulla oblongata in the brain to the vertebral column in the lumbar region.

Functions

Receiving sensory information and carrying commands to muscles

They receive sense of body movement through receptors which then travels along the spinal cord.

They also transmit information through impulses to the brain using the nerves cells this include pain and pressure.

They also control voluntary and involuntary movement such as walking neurons that controls voluntary actions passes through the spinal cord.

Answer:

Receiving sensory information and carrying commands to the muscles.

Explanation:

The spinal cord serves as the transmission conduit for the passage of action potential as sensory information through the sensory/afferent neurons to the dorsal roots of the spinal cord.The information synapse with the inter neurons,branching off to the brain and emerged as the response through the motor/efferent neurons to the effectors(muscles).

This pathways is called reflex arc. Thus most of the involuntary action of the body is conducted through the spinal cord
