The tapering of the spinal cord is known as the conus medullaris. It is the terminal end of the spinal cord, which typically occurs around the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra in adults. Below the conus medullaris, the spinal nerves continue as a collection known as the cauda equina. This structure is crucial for the proper functioning of the lower body and pelvic organs.
