The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nerves that is an extension of the central nervous system from the brain and is enclosed in and protected by the bony vertebral column (aka. the back bones). The main function of the spinal cord is transmission of neural inputs between the periphery (legs, arms, torso, etc) and the brain.
In summary, the term spinal cord is correct medical/anatomical language. There is no better way of naming this structure of the body.
I think all the person asked for is it's medical name and that is "myel-"
The scientific name for spinal cord is medulla spinalis. Medulla means a structure in the middle of the organ and spinalis is related to the vertebral spines of the spinal region.
It is normally just referred to as the spinal cord. The greek for "spinal cord" is myelos, and this term is sometimes used in words describing spinal cord injury (myelopathy.)
