Solution

Central nervous system (CNS):

  1. The Central nervous system is the body's processing center, and it is made up of the brain and the spinal cord.
  2. Most sensory neurons in vertebrates synapses in the spinal cord rather than passing directly into the brain.
  3. A reflex action is an instinctive, spontaneous, and mechanical response to a stimulus or a quick activity in response to anything in the environment. For example, blinking of the eyes or diaphragmatic movement.
  4. The spinal cord enables faster reflex actions by engaging spinal motor neurons before having to wait for messages to go to the brain.

Final answer: Spinal cord of the CNS mainly controls the reflex.
