==Spinal cord==

The spinal cord extends the length of the vertebral column to the tip of the tail and gives rise to dorsal (sensory) and ventral (motor) roots at each vertebral segment. The sympathetic fibres are not distinct from spinal nerves in the trunk. There are locomotor centres in the spinal cord. Recovery from spinal cord injury may therefore a better prognosis in reptiles than in mammals.
