Question at position 4  The tapered, conical inferior end of the actual spinal cord is called the conus ______. medullarisequinefinaliscaudalis

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks for the name of the tapered, conical inferior end of the actual spinal cord and provides four options to choose from. 
Option 1: medullaris. This matches the correct anatomical term, which is the conus medullaris, the tapered end of the spinal cord located around the lower lumbar region. It is the standard terminology used in anatomy texts and clinical contexts. 
Option 2: equine. This is not related to spinal cord anatomy; ‘equine’ is an adjective referring to horses and has no anatomical designation in this context. 
Option 3: finalis. While ‘finalis’ resembles Latin roots used in anatomical naming, it is not the established term for the spinal cord’s end. There is no commonly used structure called the conus finalis. 
Option 4: caudalis. Although ‘caudalis’ means tail or toward the tail (caudal), the specific named structure at the end of the spinal cord is not called conus caudalis in standard anatomy nomenclature. The accepted term for the tapered end is medullaris, aligning with conus medullaris.
