Spinal Cord
The pathway for impulses from the periphery and body interior to the brain, and from the brain to these areas, is the spinal cord. It therefore mediates complex responses to sensations as well as an awareness of the external and internal environments. In addition, it serves as a center for immediate responses to receptor stimulation through reflexes within the cord.

Consisting of grey and white matter the spinal cord lies protected within the spinal canal of the vertebral column, it's average length is about 45cm.
