in human anatomy, the vertebrae column (spine or backbone) comprises of 24 vertebrae.
the major functions of the vertebral column are:
1) protection of the spinal cord
2) providing stiffening for the body and attachment for the pectoral and pelvic girdle and many other muscles.
3) providing motion for the human skeleton
4) transmitting body weight in walking and standing.
the development of the curvatures occurs as the supporting functions of the vertebral column in man—holding up the trunk, keeping the head erect, serving as an anchor for the extremities—are developed.
the spine plays a major role.
it forms the basic anatomical position of the axial skeleton to which everything else originates from. it makes the bulk of the body. any change in the axial skeleton will result in changes elsewhere be it bony landmarks or muscle attachments, resulting in the development of problems somewhere else. it's like a chain. a chain of reactions.
one needs to have a spine.
only then can he be able to hold his head up and have a platform for his body to function and do other stuffs.
