Spinal cord anatomy in 3D (as it should be).

So what is the spinal cord?
You can think of the spinal cord as a communications highway. 
It receives sensory information from the receptors of the trunk and limbs, then relays this information to the brain. 
On the other hand, it relays motor information from the brain to the muscles.
In some cases it can perform both of these in a split second, due to its role in reflex function.
