An intervertebral disc is a layer of cartilage that separates adjacent vertebrae in the spine. In  terms of impulse,  how does it protect the spinal system from damage during accidents?

Fill in the blanks. The spinal cord extends from the __________________________, of the occipital bone to the _________________________ vertebra. It terminates as the _______________________ and gives off a bundle of nerve roots called the _________________________.
