Las vértebras brindan apoyo a la columna
La columna vertebral se compone de huesos individuales llamados vértebras, los cimientos que le proporcionan apoyo. Estas vértebras se conectan en la parte frontal de la columna por medio de discos intervertebrales. Los discos son tejidos muy fuertes que están llenos de gel. Ayudan a sostener la columna y también permiten el movimiento. Muchos músculos y ligamentos adheridos a la parte trasera de la columna (aspecto posterior) proporcionan energía para el movimiento.
