spinal nerves

Spinal nerves are essential communication pathways that connect the spinal cord to different parts of the body. They emerge from the spinal cord through spaces between vertebrae and carry motor commands from the brain to muscles, allowing movement. They also transmit sensory information from the body back to the brain, such as touch, temperature, and pain. Each spinal nerve is part of a network that ensures the body responds appropriately to stimuli and maintains proper function. In total, there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, innervating specific areas of the body for sensation and movement.
