The human spinal cord is protected by the bony spinal column. The spinal column is made up of bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord itself is made of neurons, similar to the brain itself.

The bones in your spine are called vertebrae. They are stacked on top of each other and provide structure and support for the spinal column. The vertebrae also protect the delicate spinal cord that runs through the middle of the spine.
The vertebrae
The spinal column is made of 31-33 bones, some of which are fused. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral and 2-4 coccogeal vertebrae.
All mammals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, people) are vertebrates. They all have a spinal column made of bones called vertebra.
The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body – 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then additionally the sacrum and coccyx.
Spinal cord is also called vertebral column in vertebrates (humans and mammals.) It is made up of 33 vertebrae. Starting from top most 7 vertebrae makes cervical column,then 12 vertebrae makes thoracic column, then 5 vertebrae makes lumbar column. In the last part of pelvis, the sacral column has 9 fused vertebrae and a tailed portion of the tapering spinal cord is called coccygeal vertebra
I think you mean the spinal column.
The spinal cord is not a bone; it is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back. It is surrounded and protected by the vertebral column, which is made up of individual bones called vertebrae.
The spinal column is part of the axial skeleton. (The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the appendages. These would include all of the arm and hand bones, and leg and foot bones.)
