| | Encyclopedia: Vertebral column |
 | | 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. | | | Occasionally the coalescence of the laminae is not completed, and consequently a cleft is left in the arches of the vertebrae, through which a protrusion of the spinal membranes (dura mater and arachnoid), and generally of the spinal cord (medulla spinalis) itself, takes place, constituting the malformation known as spina bifida. |

| | vertebral column - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about vertebral column |
| | The vertebral arches may fail to fuse at any or all parts of the column, giving rise to spina bifida. | | | The spinal cord occupies the upper two-thirds of the vertebral canal, and 31 pairs of spinal nerves arising from the spinal cord leave the vertebral canal through spaces at the sides between successive vertebrae. | | | The whole succession of these rings forms the vertebral canal, or channel, containing the main nerve trunk known as the spinal cord. |

| | The major function of the vertebral column is protection of the spinal cord; it also provides stiffening for the body and attachment for the pectoral and pelvic girdles and many muscles. | | | also called spinal column, spine, or backbone in vertebrate animals, the flexible column extending from neck to tail, made of a series of bones, the vertebrae. | | | The single exception to this among living primates is the tarsier, in which the fibula becomes fused to the tibia. |

| | Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health: Vertebral column |
| | The vertebral column consists of seven cervical-or neck-vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae, and five lumbar vertebrae, followed by the sacrum, composed of five fused vertebrae, and by four coccygeal vertebrae which are sometimes fused together and called the coccyx. | | | The vertebral column plays a major protective role in human health because it encloses the spinal cord, that delicate bundle of nerve tissue which carries nerve impulses between the brain and the rest of the body. | | | The vertebral column also plays another important role, not only in providing structural support for the chest, but also in maintaining the posture of the body and in locomotion. |

| | The vertebral foramen is a hole directly behind the body of the vertebrae that forms the passage for the spinal cord. | | | The vertebral projections are for the attachments of muscles and ligaments and for facilitating movement of one vertebra over another. | | | This vertebral body supports not only the spinal cord but other structures of the body as well. |

| | The vertebral column protects the spinal cord and many internal organs, serves as a base of attachment for tendons and ligaments, provides structural support, connects the upper and lower body, and enables a wide range of body movement. | | | The vertebral column also includes the spinal cord and nerves, tendons, muscles, ligaments, intervertebral discs, and blood supply. | | | The vertebral column is divided into regions: Cervical (neck), Thoracic (chest), Lumbar (low back), Sacrum (pelvis) and Coccyx (tailbone). |

| | Chapter 11: The Muscular System |
| | The vertebral column does not need a massive series of flexor muscles, because (1) many of the large trunk muscles flex the vertebral column when they contract, and (2) most of the body weight lies anterior to the vertebral column, so gravity tends to flex the spine. | | | Deep to the spinalis muscles, the muscles of the vertebral column interconnect and stabilize the vertebrae. | | | However, a few spinal flexors are associated with the anterior surface of the vertebral column. |
