The spinal cord carries out the following major functions:
Electrical communication. Electrical signals are conducted up and down the cord, allowing communication between different sections of the body and with the brain, since the cord runs through different levels of the trunk section.Walking (also known as locomotion). During walking, several muscle groups in the legs are coordinated to contract over and over again. Although the act of putting one foot in front of the other while walking may seem simple to us, it has to be carefully coordinated by several groups of neurons known as central pattern generators in the spinal cord! These neurons send signals to the muscles in the legs, causing to the extend or contract, producing the alternating movements that are involved in walking.
