The spinal cord extends from what part of the skull?
The spinal cord extends from the brain stem to the coccyx. The exact length depends upon the individual, but it is something like a yard.

Where does the spinal cord begin in the human body?
The spinal cord begins at the base of the brain and extends down the back, running through the spinal canal in the vertebral column.
Where does the spinal cord start in the human body?

Which of there protect the spinal cord as it extends down the back from the medulla?
vertebrae
The adult spinal cord extends only to which vertebral level?
The spinal cord ends between the 1st and 2nd vertebrae.
What cells are in the spinal cord?
The tissue in the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue.
Spinal Cord?
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.
What gives the spinal cord longitudinal support?
the filum terminale which extends from the conus medullaris.
What protects the spinal cord as it extends down the back from the medulla?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column, which consists of a series of vertebrae that encase the cord. Additionally, the spinal cord is surrounded by protective membranes called meninges, which include the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) also provides cushioning and further protection against mechanical injury. Together, these structures help safeguard the spinal cord as it extends from the medulla down the back.
Where does the spinal cord start and end in the human body?
The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain and extends down to the lower back, ending around the first or second lumbar vertebra.
What band of connective tissues extends to the coccyx?
The band of connective tissue that extends to the coccyx is known as the "filum terminale." It is a delicate structure that is a continuation of the pia mater, one of the three meninges surrounding the spinal cord. The filum terminale anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx, providing stability to the spinal column.
