The vertebral column is also known as the backbone or the spine. It starts from the neck and ends at the pelvis. It comprises 33 individual bones. These bones are known as vertebrae. There are 7 vertebrae in the cervical region, 12 in the thoracic region, 5 in the lumbar region, 5 (fused in sacral region), and 3 in the caudal region.
The vertebral column performs several functions. It provides structural support to several body organs, including the head, chest, and shoulders. It provides the site for the attachment of ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It protects the spinal cord and nerve roots along with several internal organs. It also imparts flexibility and mobility to the body, including forwarding bending, backward bending, and side bending.
