From innermost to outermost, list the three meninges that protect the spinal cord. Between the outermost meninges and the vertebral canal is the epidural space, which contains loose areolar connective tissue, adipose tissue, and blood vessels. (Hint: When someone gets an "epidural," the injection is delivered into this space.) With the meninges selected, pan the view to see their full extent. How far down the spinal column do the meninges extend? The spinal cord contains two basic types of cells, the neurons and glial cells. The spinal cord ends in the conus medullaris region, but fibers extend from there to lower regions of the spinal canal. The spinal cord ends in a conical structure called the conus medullaris. Fibers from the lower end of the spinal cord form the cauda equina, which extends to the coccyx.
