Question

name the bony structure that protects spinal cord.

Answer 1

The spinal cord (and brain) are protected by three layers of tissue or membranes called meninges, that surround the canal . The dura mater is the outermost layer, and it forms a tough protective coating. Between the dura mater and the surrounding bone of the vertebrae is a space called the epidural space.

Answer 2

The spinal cord is covered within a triple sheath of membrane tissue, and is enclosed in the neural canal which runs through the vertabrae (backbones) from the base of the skull to the lower back. The vertebrae are tightly surrounded by the strong ligaments and muscles. Others word
