Question

75 multiple choice 1 point the filum terminale is: the tapered end of the spinal cord where the cell bodies of sensory neurons are located an indentation on the dorsal side of the spinal cord an extension of the pia mater than anchors the coccyx to the spinal cord

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: The tapered end of the spinal cord is the conus medullaris, not the filum terminale. So this is incorrect.
2. Analyze the second option: The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia, not related to the filum terminale. So this is incorrect.
3. Analyze the third option: The indentation on the dorsal side of the spinal cord is the posterior median sulcus, not the filum terminale. So this is incorrect.
4. Analyze the fourth option: The filum terminale is indeed an extension of the pia mater that anchors the coccyx to the spinal cord. This matches the definition of the filum terminale.

Answer:

D. an extension of the pia mater than anchors the coccyx to the spinal cord (Note: There is a typo in the option, it should be "that" instead of "than", but this is the correct option based on the content.)
