The spinal column, also known as the spine or backbone, is a complex structure that extends from the base of the skull to the pelvis. It is composed of individual vertebrae that are stacked on top of one another and separated by intervertebral discs. The spinal column serves several critical functions, including protecting the spinal cord, supporting the body's weight, and providing flexibility and mobility to the torso. The spine is divided into different regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal, each with its characteristic vertebrae.
