The vertebral arch feet (Pediculuc arcus vertebrae) and the arch plate (Lamina arcus vertebrae) together form the vertebral arch (Arcus vertebrae) at the back of the vertebra. In comparison to the vertebral body, it is significantly weaker. The horseshoe shape of the vertebral arch forms the vertebral hole (Foramen vertebralae), which is enclosed by the vertebral body and vertebral arch. The composition of the vertebrae results in the formation of the vertebral canal (Canalis vertebralis), which houses the spinal cord.
