GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Can Your Spinal Column Actually ‘Think’? Researchers say your spinal column might be able to process some information that was previously thought to be done by the brain. Many of us understand that most decision-making and actions originate in the brain. But it might be time to rethink this notion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within the spinal column lies the spinal cord, a vital aspect of the central nervous system (CNS). The three primary roles of the spinal cord are to send motor commands from the brain to the body, send sensory information from the body to the brain, and coordinate reflexes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spinal cord is a column of nerves that connects your brain with the rest of your body, allowing you to control your movements. Without a spinal cord, you could not move any part of your body, and your organs could not function.

Detailed explanation-4: -Motor Functions-directs your body’s voluntary muscle movements. Sensory Functions – monitors sensation of touch, pressure, temperature and pain. Autonomic Functions – regulates digestion, urination, body temperature, heart rate, and dilation/contraction of blood vessels (blood pressure).
