Abstract

This article is about Spinal cord and spinal cord, its age-related features. The brain  general  appearance.  The spinal cord is responsible for transmitting nerve signals from the motor cortex to the body and from the afferent fibers of sensory neurons to the sensory cortex. It also maintains a coordinating center for many reflexes and reflex arcs that independently control reflexes.[1] It is also home to groups of spinal interneurons that form neural loops known as central pattern generators.

Keywords

• Spinal cord, brain, body, neurons, nerve.
