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: -The central nervous system is better protected than any other system or organ in the body. Its main line of defense is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury. A fluid-filled space below the bones, called the syrnix, provides shock absorbance.
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.
