The spinal cord is covered within a triple sheath of membrane tissue, and is enclosed in the neural canal which runs through the vertabrae (backbones) from the base of the skull to the lower back. The vertebrae are tightly surrounded by the strong ligaments and muscles.
The brain and spinal cord are protected from injury by the skull and vertebral column.
Around the brain and spinal cord, is a fluid called cerebral spinal fluid which cusions the brain and spinal cord against minor injuries, and from bruising against the scull and vertebral column.
The spinal cord is the pathway for information connecting the brain and the peripheral nervous system. The main function of the peropheral nervous system is to connect the central nervous systems to the limbs and organs. So basically if there wasn't something protecting the spinal cord then it could be damaged and the function of your limbs and some organs could be messed up.
The spinal cord is protected from injury by a surrounding ring of bone called the vertebrae. Inside the vertebrae the cord is surrounded by a fluid called cerebral spinal fluid which also helps protect the cord against shocks
You can protect it by if hurt putting a brace around it. But there are many other ways.

What is the protected by the vertebrae?
The spinal cord
How does the spinal cord protected from harm?
backbone
Is the spinal cord protected by the backbone?
Yes
What protects the brain and spinal cord?
Membranes called meninges cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. The skull and spinal column also protect the brain and spinal cord, respectively. The spinal cord is made up by individual vertebrae.
What protects your spinal cord and heart and lungs respectively?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebras that make up the spine. Heart and lungs are mainly protected by the ribs and the sternum.
What protects your spinal?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae, meninges, and CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)
Is the spinal cord made out of bone?
The human spinal cord is protected by the bony spinal column. The spinal column is made up of bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord itself is made of neurons, similar to the brain itself.
What are the brain and spinal cord protected by in the human?
Your brain is protected by bone which is your skull. Your spinal cord is also protected by bone known as vertebrae. Actually in the biology textbook it is called cerebrospinal fluid.
In vertebrates the spinal cord is enclosed and protected by individual?
vertibrae
What is the spinal cord linked to?
The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. The human spinal cord is protected by the bony spinal column. The bodies nervous system passes information for the bodies functions from the brain through the spinal cord via a massive network of nerves
