• A. Skull
• B. Urostyle
• C. Pelvic girdle
• D. Pectoral girdle

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Urostyle

Spinal cord lies in the neural canal of the vertebral column and extends from the medulla oblongata of the brain to almost the end of the backbone. In the frog, it is a short, flattened structure which widens anteriorly and tapers towards the posterior end into the urostyle, where it is called filum terminate. Therefore, filum terminale is located in urostyle.

So the correct answer is 'Urostyle'.
