Expert Answer
- The backbone is also called the vertebral column or the spinal column.
- It is composed of 26 ring-like bones called vertebrae, which are connected to each other. They can be divided into five groups according to the region they occupy.
- The vertebral column has a characteristic S-shaped curve.
- This helps in balancing the body when in erect position and prevents the column from breaking.
- The curve acts as a pressure and shock absorber while performing physical activities such as running, walking etc.
