Answer:

To route instructions from the brain to the appropriate body parts via spinal nerves

Step-by-step explanation:

The spinal cord is a cylindrical cord, composed of nerve cells, located in the inner canal of the vertebrae. Its function is to establish communication between the body and the nervous system through the spinal nerves, and also to act on reflexes, protecting the body in emergency situations where there is a need for rapid response. Although confused with the bone marrow, it is related to the production of blood cells, while the spinal cord is part of the central nervous system.
