4 regions of the spine and their functions?!


Question:

4 regions of the spine and their functions?

please if anyone know the answer reply thank you


Answers:

The spine has four regions. Starting with the neck and progressing down to the pelvis, the regions are the CERVICAL REGION , the THORACIC REGION, THE LUMBAR REGION, and the SACRAL REGION. All of these regions work together to provide support and stability for much of the weight of the upper body. Each bony level has a passage that forms a tunnel for the spinal cord, thus protecting the spinal cord as it extends downward from the brain.

While the spine provides protection and support, its design also allows you to bend, twist, rotate, and otherwise move your upper body in every direction. The bones themselves do not actually bend or twist; the flexibility of the spine comes from structures between the bones called facet joints and intervertebral disks

Hope that helps!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Best wishes!!
