Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vertebrae surround and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is divided into segments, each containing a pair of spinal nerves that send messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The “core” muscles: Multifidus; Transverse Abdominis; Pelvic Floor; Diaphragm. When they work in coordination with each other, they stabilize the spine & pelvis which can aid in the reduction of low back pain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by bone: the brain by the bones of the skull, and the spinal cord by vertebrae, a set of ring-shaped bones. They’re both cushioned by layers of membranes (called meninges) and cerebrospinal fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -The brain and spinal cord are covered and protected by 3 layers of tissue (membranes) called the meninges: dura mater – thickest outer membrane. arachnoid layer – middle, thin membrane. pia mater – inner, thin membrane.
