    The spinal column, also known as the backbone or spine, is a complex structure in the body that runs from the base of the skull to the lower back. It is composed of a series of small bones called vertebrae that are stacked on top of each other. This column serves as the main support structure of the body, allowing us to stand upright, bend, and twist, while also protecting the spinal cord, a bundle of nerve fibers that connect most of the body with the brain.
