No, if a person does not have vertebrae, they would be unable to support their spine, which is crucial for maintaining an upright posture and facilitating movement. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord and provide structural integrity to the body. Without them, essential motor functions would be severely compromised, making movement impossible in the traditional sense. However, some individuals with significant spinal cord injuries may retain limited movement in certain cases, but this is not applicable to the absence of vertebrae.

Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.


Can you move one bone in your backbone without moving the others?

No, you cannot move one individual bone in your backbone, or vertebra, without affecting the others. The vertebrae in the spine are connected by intervertebral discs, ligaments, and muscles, which allow for a coordinated movement of multiple vertebrae. Any movement of one vertebra typically involves the adjacent vertebrae as well, due to their structural and functional interdependence.


What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
