Question

Identify the important function of spinal cord from the given choices

• A. Control blood flow to brain
• B. Reflex action control
• C. Control of respiratory muscles
• D. Control excretion

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Reflex action control

Reflex action control

When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal to the central nervous system. The brain co-ordinates the response, but whenever a very quick response is needed, the involvement of the brain is not there and we call these as reflex action. Reflex actions are rapid and happen without us thinking.
