Detailed explanation-1: -A protective layer of bone called the vertebral column covers and protects your spinal cord. The bones in the vertebral column are called vertebrae (plural of one spine bone, a vertebra).

Detailed explanation-2: -The spinal cord is protected by bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. The spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord passes through a hole in the center (called the spinal canal) of each vertebra. Between the vertebrae there are discs that act as cushions, or shock absorbers for the spine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounds the spinal cord, which is also shielded by three protective layers called the meninges (dura, arachnoid and pia mater). The spinal cord lies inside the spinal column, which is made up of 33 bones called vertebrae.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spine is also designed to protect your spinal cord. The spinal cord is a column of nerves that connects your brain with the rest of your body, allowing you to control your movements. Without a spinal cord, you could not move any part of your body, and your organs could not function.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meninges, bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles protect the spinal cord.
