Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central - nervous system along with the brain. It acts as a major pathway for nerve signals, transmitting information between the brain and the rest of the body. Thoughts and emotions are produced by the brain, the immune system is regulated by various body systems including the endocrine and immune cells themselves, and the spinal cord is not an independent organ separate from the brain. The brain does not control the movement of the spinal cord as it is a fixed structure within the vertebral column.

Answer:

The spinal cord transmits information between the brain and the rest of the body
