#1 Your spine is an important part of your body, and it provides you with structure and support. It is also a protector, serving as a bony barrier between your spinal cord and nerves.

#2 The spine is made up of 33 spool-shaped bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra is about an inch thick and stacked one on top of another. The vertebrae are supported by ligaments and connected to muscles that extend throughout the body.

#3 The spine is made up of four main regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. The cervical spine is the most flexible and extends the greatest amount, making it possible for you to nod your head yes. The thoracic spine is the least mobile and extends the least, but it does support most of your weight.

#4 A spinal disk has a soft, gel-like interior called the nucleus pulposus. The interior is encased by a tougher, rubbery exterior called the anulus fibrosis. The exterior is made of sheets of tissue called lamellae.

#5

Vertebral facets are the locations where one vertebra connects to the next. These joints help keep your spine aligned as it moves, and allow the spine to flex, extend, and rotate.

#6

There are two large joints in the spine called the sacroiliac joints. They connect the bottom portion of the spine and the upper pelvis. These joints act as shock absorbers, transferring weight and energy between your upper body and your legs.

#7

The spinal cord is a ropelike column of nerves that links your brain to the nerves in your arms, legs, and trunk. The spinal cord begins at the base of your brain and runs down the center of each vertebra, ending where your lumbar region begins.

#8

The spine is made up of a variety of ligaments that help maintain its shape. Two main ligaments, the anterior longitudinal ligament and the
