Question

which are the functions of the spinal cord?
□ it is the center for sensory perception and intellect.
□ it cushions impacts, therefore providing shock absorption.
□ it is a center for many reflexes.
□ it conducts nerve impulses to and from the brain.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is involved in reflex - arc mechanisms and serves as a pathway for nerve impulses to and from the brain. Sensory perception and intellect are centered in the brain, not the spinal cord. Cushioning impacts and shock - absorption are functions of structures like intervertebral discs, not the spinal cord.
