The spinal cord is protected within the vertebral foramen between the vertebral arch and the vertebral body. If this foramen becomes narrow, such as from spinal degeneration, it can cause central stenosis and compress the spinal cord. | Spine-health

The Human Vertebral Column 🦴 Your spine is built from cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccyx regions — each designed for support, protection, and movement. The vertebral foramen shields the spinal cord, while C1–C2 enable head rotation and lumbar vertebrae carry most body weight. A strong spine keeps posture stable and motion smooth. #SpineAnatomy #HumanBody #PostureHealth #AnatomyLearning #MedicalEducation | Scoolam Foundation
