through your muscles. The vertebral column is what bears our body weight.”
o Transmit forces through pelvis to lower limbs
o Carry and position head
o [Provides a] brace and helps manoeuvre upper limbs
▪ “For example, several muscles (e.g. rhomboids and trapezius) originate on the
vertebrae which stabilise the scapula.”
o Protect spinal cord
▪ “Vertebral column forms a continuous cage.”
- SPINAL CURVE DEVELOPMENT
