**The human backbone, also known as the spine or vertebral column, is a complex structure made up of a series of bones called vertebrae. The backbone is located in the dorsal (back) part of the body and extends from the base of the skull to the pelvis, providing support and protection for the spinal cord and the nerves that branch out from it. There are 33 vertebrae in total, including 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck, 12 thoracic vertebrae in the upper back, 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back, 5 fused vertebrae in the sacrum, and 4 fused vertebrae in the coccyx (tailbone). Each vertebra has a central opening, which forms a canal that protects the spinal cord. The vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers and allow for flexibility of movement. The backbone also provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help to stabilize and move the body. 8k resolution.300dpi. --ar 2:3 --s 750** - Upscaled (Beta) by <@819199385983254528> (fast)
