What is veterbrea?

Vertebrae are the individual bones that make up the vertebral column, or spine, in vertebrate animals. They provide structural support, protect the spinal cord, and allow for flexibility and movement. The vertebral column is typically divided into regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal vertebrae, each with specific characteristics and functions. Collectively, vertebrae play a crucial role in maintaining posture and facilitating motion.
