The spinal cord is made up of nerve tissue. This is a thick bundle of neurons that runs through the spinal canal or the vertebral column. The vertebral column is the tower of vertebral bones typically called the "spine" by laymen. The spine is in fact the amalgamation of the two. In other words the spine is the vertebral column with the nervous spinal cord running through it.
What else can I help you with?
Do reptilia have a vertebral column?
Yes, reptiles are in the subphylum ranked as vertebrata, or the vertebrates. All vertebrates have a spinal column, along with backbones.
What is a fish's backbone for?
It supports the skeleton and suppies a protection for the spinal chord. Basicaly it does exactly the same thing your spine/backbone does for you.
Is a spine and a backbone the same thing?
Yes, a spine and a backbone refer to the same structure in vertebrates. The term "spine" typically describes the entire column of vertebrae extending from the skull to the tail, while "backbone" is often used more informally to refer to the same structure. Both terms highlight the role of this column in providing support and protection for the spinal cord.
What is the job for the backbone?
Essentially the same as that in any other vertebrate - including us. It is the central column of the skeleton, and the conduit for the nerve-bundle that is the spinal cord.
What is function of backbone?
Essentially the same as that in any other vertebrate - including us. It is the central column of the skeleton, and the conduit for the nerve-bundle that is the spinal cord.

What does the spinal cord do in fish?
Spinal cord has got the same function in all the vertebrate animals.
Is Spinal degeneration the same as spinal stenosis?
No. Spinal stenosis a condition where the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves. Spinal degeneration is a natural process that occurs as we age and it often the causeof spinal stenosis.
How is a tortoises shell attached to its body?
i think its the same thing as a turtle where the spinal cord is connected to the shell so if you take the shell off in a matter of time it will die.
What is the medical term meaning Pertaining to the membranes around the brain and spinal cord?
Well, the spinal cord is the spinal cord, but when you are talking about it with the brain, they make up the central nervous system. There are also different spinal tracts and nerves depending on where they originate/end (ie spinocerebellar, corticospinal etc), so those can be referred to independently. In addition, there are meninges of the spinal cord, which are the connective membranes that enclose the spinal cord (which include the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and pia mater and the spaces in between). So depending on which part you are talking about, they can be named individually, but the spinal cord is called the spinal cord as a whole. It's "Myel-"
