yes, the spinal cord is also called backbone. in medical we called spinal cord but in simple language, we called backbone.

the spinal cord is a long, thin, bended bone.
the brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system(CNS).
spinal cord is about 45 cm (18 inches) long in men. and around 43 com (17 inches) in women.
There are 31 spinal cord nerve segments in a human spinal cord.
