The spine, also known as the backbone or vertebral column, is a crucial part of the human body’s skeletal system. It provides structural support, stability, and protection for the spinal cord, which is the main pathway for transmitting nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The spine is composed of small bones called vertebrae, which are stacked on top of one another and separated by intervertebral discs. These discs act as cushions to absorb shock and allow for flexibility and movement. The spine is divided into several regions, including the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (mid-back), lumbar spine (lower back), sacrum, and coccyx. Each region has unique characteristics and functions, contributing to the overall stability and mobility of the spine.
