Here is your answer.........

The spinal cord, along with the brain, makes up the central nervous system. It resembles a thick, cream-colored rope and is made up of nerves that relay messages between the brain and the rest of the body. It stretches from the medulla oblongata, at the base of the brain, to the lower back, and is housed in a tunnel made by the vertebrae, or bones of the spinal column. All vertebrate animals have spinal cords, from simple jawless fish to complex birds and mammals.

Functions

The spinal cord works a bit like a telephone switchboard operator, helping the brain communicate with different parts of the body, and vice versa. Its three major roles are:

To relay messages from the brain to different parts of the body (usually a muscle) in order to perform an action

To pass along messages from sensory receptors (found all over the body) to the brain

To coordinate reflexes (quick responses to outside stimuli) that don't go through the brain and are managed by the spinal cord alone
