Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The spinal cord is connected to the brain and runs the length of the body. It is protected by the bones of the spine (vertebrae).
Detailed explanation-2: -For further protection, the brain is encased within the hard bones of the skull, while the spinal cord is protected with the bony vertebrae of our backbones. A third form of protection is cerebrospinal fluid, which provides a buffer that limits impact between the brain and skull or between spinal cord and vertebrae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like the brain, the spinal cord is surrounded by bone, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid. The spinal cord is divided into 31 segments with each segment giving rise to a pair of spinal nerves.
