That is good question! You have the size of the vertebrae getting larger and larger as you go down. The reason for this phenomena is very simple. You have adapted the verticle posture. You have to bear the weight of the body. The cervical vertebrae have to bear the weight of the head only. The lumber vertebrae have to bear the weight of the upper half of the body. so they are largest and strongest.
