Detailed explanation-2: -An essential feature of the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord lies within the spinal column and extends from the brainstem to the lower back through the vertebral foramen of the vertebrae. In adults, the spinal cord terminates in the lumbar region at L1-L2, the conus medullaris.
