Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spinal cord is responsible for controlling many reflex movements such as the withdrawal of a hand from a hot stove. It does not solely consist of nerve tracts, as it also contains cell bodies, and it carries both sensory and motor information. The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system are independent of the spinal cord.
