For others, here's the Wikipedia link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerves

I'm surprised that it's so few (31 pairs of spinal nerves). I would have imagined that there would be thousands and thousands of nerves.

Since we certainly have more than 62 sensory inputs and motor outputs in the trunk of our body, I assume that those 62 nerves hide quite a lot complexity.
