  3. white matter

  4. gray matter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It encircles the gray matter of spinal cord. It bears nerve processes ascending and descending the spinal cord. The white colour comes from fatty myelin sheath.

The spider web-like filaments is a characteristic of

  1. sub-arachnoid space

  2. subdural space

  3. epidural space

  4. epidural fat


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the space between the arachnoid and the pia mater. It accomodates the cerebrospinal fluid and spider web-like filaments.

The anterior spinal artery is found in

  1. cauda equina

  2. conus medullaris

  3. anterior median fissure

  4. lumbosacral enlargement


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is a longitudinal midline fissure situated on the ventral surface of the spinal cord. The anterior spinal artery is found in this fissure.

Which of the following connects itself to the coccyx in humans?

  1. Filum terminale externum

  2. Filum terminale internum

  3. Denticulate ligament

  4. Posterior median sulcus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

These are delicate thread-like extensions of the dura mater below the end of the dural sac. It connects itself to the coccyx.
