    The document describes the anatomy of the spinal cord, including its protective coverings called meninges, internal structure consisting of gray and white matter, and the nerves that branch out from it. The spinal cord ends in the conus medullaris and continues as the filum terminale. 31 pairs of spinal nerves emerge from the spinal cord and branch to form plexuses that supply different regions of the body.
