Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "caudal" refers to the tailbone or the lower region of the spinal cord. Therefore, option B - "located near the tailbone" - is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because "superior" means above or higher, which is the opposite direction of the caudal location. Option C is incorrect because the cervical spinal cord is located in the neck region, which is above the caudal region. Option D is incorrect because the brain is located in the skull and is not part of the spinal cord.
