The Nervous System THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CNS CONSISTS of the spinal cord and brain. Despite the fact that the two are anatomically connected the spinal cord and brain show significant degrees of functional independence. The spinal cord is far more than just a highway for information traveling to or from the brain. Although most sensory data is relayed to the brain the spinal cord also integrates and processes information on its own. This chapter describes the anatomy of the spinal cord and examines the integrative activities that occur in this portion of the CNS.
