Definition von the vertebral column im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
vertebral column: The series of vertebrae that protect the spinal cord; the spinal column
vertebral column: spinal column, spine, backbone
vertebral column: or spinal column or spine or backbone Flexible column extending the length of the torso. In humans, it consists of 32-34 vertebrae, with different shapes and functions in each of five regions: 7 cervical, in the neck (including the atlas and axis, modified for free movement of the skull); 12 thoracic, in the chest; 5 lumbar, in the lower back; 5 sacral (fused into the sacrum, part of the pelvic girdle); and 3 to 5 coccygeal (vestigial tailbones fused into the coccyx). The body of each vertebra is separated from its neighbours by cushioning intervertebral disks of cartilage. Behind the body is a Y-shaped vertebral (neural) arch with structures extending up and down to form joints with the adjacent vertebrae and to the back and sides to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments. The spine supports the torso and protects the spinal cord
