Why back bone protects spinal card?
No one bone protects the spinal cord. The spine consists of 33 bones called vertebrae, of which the spinal cord travels through the center. These vertebrae are held in place, or supported, by ligaments and muscles. Cushions between each vertebrae are called discs. So, essentially, the spinal cord is protected by bone, discs, ligaments and the muscles.
What bones protects spinal cord?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column or spinal column. The vertebral column is a collection of individual bones called vertebrae that encase and protect the spinal cord. The vertebral column is divided into three parts: seven cervical (neck) vertebrae at the top, twelve thoracic vertebrae in the midback, and five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar vertebrae, but not protecting the spinal cord, are the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone).
