The spinal cord

The spinal cord part of the central nervous system is involved in this automatic response.

The spinal cord is a long, tiny tube of nervous tissue that support cells which passes from the end of the brainstem to the bottom of the spine. The central brain nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The spinal cord is the center for coordinating many reflexes and it plays major roles in the transmission of nerve signals (messages) between the brain and the rest of the body.
