The bony spine (lat. Columna vertebralis) usually consists of 32 to 34 individual vertebrae. The Trunk is carried by the spinal column. When viewed from the side, its double "s" shape becomes visible. The spinal column is divided into four sections: Cervical spine, Thoracic spine, lumbar spine and sacral bone and tailbone. The cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae belong to the mobile vertebrae, these are connected to each other by intervertebral discs.
