the posterior median sulcus
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.
medulla oblongata
A posteriorly protruding disc refers to a spinal disc that has herniated or bulged backward toward the spinal canal. This condition can compress nearby nerves or the spinal cord, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. It is often associated with conditions like degenerative disc disease or injury. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.

Yes. The neural tube is a long, hollow structure that extends about the full length of the developing embryo. The tube itself gives rise to both components of the central nervous system (CNS): the brain and the spinal cord.
The spinal cord begins at the base of the brain and extends down the back, running through the spinal canal in the vertebral column.
The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain and extends down the back, running through the spinal canal in the vertebral column.
It extends from the medulla oblongata to the first or second lumbar vertebra (L1 or L2).
the filum terminale which extends from the conus medullaris.
The spinal cord ends between the 1st and 2nd vertebrae.
