 | | One well-known spinal curvature is hunchback, a humped condition of the dorsal spine resulting from an extreme curvature of the spine. | | | Pathologic curvatures of the human spinal column are common. | | | Before birth, the human spinal column forms a single curve with the convex surface toward the back; at birth, two primary curvatures are present, both of which are concave forward. |

| | spinal column: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
| | The vertebral column ( backbone or spine) is a column of vertebrae situated in the dorsal aspect of the abdomen. | | | In the early embryo, the vertebral column is C-shaped, and the cervical and lumbar curvatures are not yet present in a newborn infant. | | | In human beings, the spinal column of the child contains more vertebrae than the adult, in whom a number become fused into two immovable bones, the sacrum and the coccyx, forming the back of the pelvis. |

| | Spinal Column - Back Pain - Anatomy |
| | The human spine consists of a number of vertebrae, or units of bone, arranged in a vertical structure – a structure known as the spinal column. | | | The mechanical function of the spine is two-fold: it must provide structural support for the body, and allow us to move freely in three dimensions (bending over and rotating as necessary); the neurological function of the spine, of course, is to innervate (or provide a nerve supply to) the rest of the body. | | | Over time, however, the units at the base of the column fuse together to form the coccyx, or ‘tailbone’, and the sacrum, which forms part of the pelvis. |
