Question

exam 3 - chapters 10 and 11 nervous syst... what is the cauda equina? multiple choice the inferior tip of the spinal cord outermost protective layer covering the brain and spinal cord cord of connective tissue that anchors spinal cord to the coccyx bundle of nervous tissue that extends beyond tip of spinal cord

Explanation:

The cauda equina is a collection of nerve roots (nervous tissue) that extend from the end of the spinal cord (beyond its tip). The other options are incorrect: the inferior tip of the spinal cord is the conus medullaris, the outermost protective layer is the dura mater, and the cord anchoring to coccyx is the filum terminale.

Answer:

The option "Bundle of nervous tissue that extends beyond tip of spinal cord" (the fourth option, assuming the first is "The inferior tip of the spinal cord", second "Outermost protective layer...", third "Cord of connective tissue...", fourth the bundle one).
