Shock absorbent between each vertebrae which keeps them separated when impacted by movement
Ruptured inter-vertebral disks can lead to paralysis in a dog because they affect the spinal cord.
Cartilage disks in the vertebral column provide flexibility and shock absorbing qualities to the spine. These disks become less elastic with age.
Humans have two vertebral curves, the primary curve and the secondary curve. The function of vertebral curves is to allow the body to cope with an even amount of weight to be distributed.

Passage for spinal nerves
The function of a fetal pig's vertebral column is to reinforce the vertebrate animal. It also keeps the fragile spinal cord protected.
The presence of the discs and the S-shaped or springlike construction of the vertebral column prevent shock to the head in walking and running and provide flexibility to the body trunk.
