The '''spinal cord'''is constructed of the ''[[Spinal Cord - Anatomy & Physiology#Marginal_layer|marginal layer]] ''which has axons and white matter, the ''[[Spinal Cord - Anatomy & Physiology#Mantle|mantle]]'' which contains cell bodies and grey matter and the ''[[Spinal Cord - Anatomy & Physiology#Spinal_Canal|spinal canal]]''. This canal conducts sensory information from the peripheral nervous system (both somatic and autonomic) to the brain, conducts motor information from the brain to various effectors and acts as a minor reflex center. <br> <br>
