The spinal cord carries nerve signals (messages) from our brain to the rest of the body and back. These signals are electrical messages. With their help our body is able to function properly.

Understand it in this way that the spinal cord is working in all the big and small functions of the body. If dust particles are seen coming towards the eyes at a fast speed, then it is the responsibility of the spinal cord to protect the eyes by immediately closing the eyelids.

If an injury breaks the cerebrospinal fluid barrier and reaches the spinal cord, it can cause damage to nerves and tissues. This may cause paralysis, memory loss or loss of control over body functions.
