Question

The _________ extends from the medulla and runs through the whole length of the vertebral column.

• A. spinal cord
• B. cerebellum
• C. pons
• D. medulla

Answer 1

The correct option is A

spinal cord

Medulla oblongata leaves the brain as the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a long structure that runs through the canals present in the vertebrae of the vertebral column. Thus, like the brain is protected by skull/cranium, the spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column.
