Secondary cartilaginous joints.
GLIDING
All the joints of the spinal column are gliding joints except the very first two in the neck region. These are a pivot joint.

The Spinal Column is a nerve.
All animals with a spinal chord have a spinal column to protect it. The spinal column is often referred to as the "back bone", so only vertebrates have one.
The shock absorber in the body is called the sacroiliac joint. The joint is located on top of the sacrum near the base of the spinal column.
The joint that allows a small amount of movement in the spinal column is known as a "symphysis," specifically the intervertebral joints. These joints are formed between the vertebrae and are composed of fibrocartilage discs that provide slight flexibility while maintaining stability. This limited movement is essential for the overall flexibility and function of the spine, allowing for bending and twisting motions while protecting the spinal cord.
There are 7 bones that are formed at the top of the spinal column.
A joint of the backbone, not including the intervertebral discs, is called a facet joint. These joints are located at the back of the spinal column and help to connect the vertebrae together, providing stability and allowing for movement.
The spinal cord sends messages to the brain,if we didn't have a spinal cord we couldn't do anything
What are spinal columns? they have an electrical wiring
The very best example of a pivot joint is the axis and atlas in the spinal column. This involves the very first two vertebra which allow you to turn your head from side to side.
