<p>I'm struggling to find the right terminology here, but if you have jQuery object...</p>

<pre><code>$('#MyObject')
</code></pre>

<p>...is it possible to extract the base element? Meaning, the equivalent of this:</p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById('MyObject')
</code></pre>

Yes, use
```
.get(index)
```
.  According to the
documentation
:
The
```
.get()
```
method grants access to the DOM nodes underlying each jQuery object.
