What is the meaning of posteriorly portruding disc?
A posteriorly protruding disc refers to a spinal disc that has herniated or bulged backward toward the spinal canal.

Will the neural tube develop into the brain and the spinal cord?
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.
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?
The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain and extends down the back, running through the spinal canal in the vertebral column.
The spinal cord extends from the -------- of the skull to the ------------- region of the vertebral column?
It extends from the medulla oblongata to the first or second lumbar vertebra (L1 or L2).
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.
What gives the spinal cord longitudinal support?
the filum terminale which extends from the conus medullaris.
