What structure is an inferior continuation of pia mater to the coccyx?
The inferior continuation of the pia mater to the coccyx is the filum terminale, a slender filament of connective tissue. It helps to anchor the spinal cord within the spinal canal and provides longitudinal support to the spinal cord.
What gives messages to the brain?
Spinal cord
What are the main functions of the spinal column?
The spinal cord sends messages to the brain,if we didn't have a spinal cord we couldn't do anything
What is the protected by the vertebrae?
The spinal cord
What is the strand of fibrous tissue that provides longitudinal support as a component of the coccygeal ligament?
Filum terminale or terminal thread is a fragile fibrous tissue strand which is the longitudinal support of the spinal cord. Its upper part is called filum terminale internum and the lower part called filum terminale externum.

Each of the thirty-one segments of the spinal cord gives rise to a pair of?
Spinal nerves
What cells are in the spinal cord?
The tissue in the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue.
What prevents longitudinal movements of the spinal cord?
The denticulate ligaments, I know, prevent lateral movement of the spinal cord within the thecal sac (as stated in Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, 3rd Edition, page 211). I have yet to find if the denticulate ligaments are also responsible for longitudinal movements or not. I hope this helps.
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.
What protect the spinal cord and support head and back?
The Vertebral Column (aka, the spine or backbone) protects the spinal cord and supports the head and back.
What are the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord compise major nerve pathways called?
The longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord that comprise major nerve pathways are called tracts. These tracts are organized based on their function and transmit information to and from different regions of the body to the brain.
