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.

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.
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?

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-"

== == No.AVM: arteriovenous malformation, which is basically veins or arteries that are not properly formed. This is extremely rare and symptoms don't usually show until the patient is in his/her 30'sTethered Spinal Cord: A disorder caused by tissue attachments that limit the movement of the cord within the column. Causes abnormal stretching of the spinal cord.
