2025年1月6日 · The vertebral column (also known as the backbone or the spine), is a column of approximately 33 small bones, called vertebrae. The column runs from the cranium to the apex of the coccyx, on the posterior aspect of the body. It contains and protects the spinal cord

The vertebral column surrounds the spinal cord which travels within the spinal canal, formed from a central hole within each vertebra. The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system that supplies nerves and receives information from the peripheral nervous system within the body.

The major function of the vertebral column is to protect the spinal cord; it also is an attachment for many muscles. In humans, it further transmits body weight in walking and standing.

The vertebral column, commonly known as the spine, spinal column, or backbone, is a flexible hollow structure through which the spinal cord runs. It comprises 33 small bones called vertebrae, which remain separated by cartilaginous intervertebral discs.

The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body --- 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then additionally the sacrum and coccyx. Prior to adolescence, the spine consists of 33 bones because the sacrum's five bones and the coccyx's four do not fuse together until adolescence.
