The spinal cord is protected by which of these?
The spinal cord is protected by bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. The spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord passes through a hole in the center (called the spinal canal) of each vertebrae. Between the vertebrae there are discs that act as cushions, or shock absorbers for the spine. Ligaments and muscles help keep the vertebrae in the correct position.

Robert Snow, If I am not mistaken, you have to answer the question before you can see the answer and the comments. As you undoubtedly know, the comments can range from the astute to the asinine.

The elaboration on the answer to this question makes the correct answer incomplete since the vertebrae are bones only, Discs, ligaments and muscles do help protect the spinal cord, but are different kinds of tissues than the vertebrae.
