Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Injecting an anesthetic into the membrane around the spinal cord is known as an epidural block. A spinal block involves injecting an anesthetic directly into the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the spinal cord, while dilation and detachment are not medical procedures related to anesthetics.
