which of the following is true about the spinal cord?
it contains two major neural pathways.
it contains neural circuits that require input from the brain.
it is made up of hard, bonelike bundles of dendrites.
it is not actually connected to the brain.
The spinal cord contains two major neural pathways - the ascending and descending tracts. Ascending tracts carry sensory information to the brain, and descending tracts carry motor commands from the brain to the body. Neural circuits in the spinal cord can function independently in reflex actions without constant brain input. The spinal cord is made of nerve tissue, not hard, bonelike bundles of dendrites, and it is connected to the brain via the brain - stem.
