The vertebral column, also known as the spine or backbone, is a key structural component of the human body and many other vertebrates. It consists of a series of vertebrae extending from the skull to the tailbone, protecting the delicate spinal cord and supporting the head and trunk. The vertebral column allows for a range of movements and provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments. It is divided into different regions, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions, each with specific characteristics and functions.
