filum terminale choose
conus medullaris choose
plexi choose
options for each choose:
\horsetail\
triangular - shaped end
networks of nerves leading to the arms, neck, and legs
\last filament\

Explanation:

• Cauda equina: The term "cauda equina" translates to "horsetail" in Latin, and its appearance resembles a horsetail, so it matches "horsetail".
• Filum terminale: "Filum terminale" means "last filament" as it is a thin filament at the end of the spinal cord, so it matches "last filament".
• Conus medullaris: It is the triangular - shaped end of the spinal cord, so it matches "triangular - shaped end".
• Plexi (plexuses): Nerve plexuses are networks of nerves that supply the arms, neck, and legs, so it matches "networks of nerves leading to the arms, neck, and legs".

Answer:

• cauda equina: "horsetail"
• filum terminale: "last filament"
• conus medullaris: "triangular - shaped end"
• plexi: "networks of nerves leading to the arms, neck, and legs"
