MS ExplainedSpinal cord
Most nerves in the peripheral nervous system are not connected directly to the brain but to the spinal cord, which acts as the main route for nerve messages to and from the brain.
The spinal cord also controls reflex reactions. Reflex reactions are automatic responses to stimuli, such as pulling the hand away if it touches something hot.
