A cow's vertebrae form the backbone or spine, providing structural support and protecting the spinal cord. They allow for flexibility and movement, enabling the cow to bend and twist its body while walking, grazing, or standing. Additionally, the vertebrae play a crucial role in maintaining the overall posture and balance of the animal.
