Spine necklace | sterling silver
The vertebral column — 33 bones stacked into a flexible axis of support, protecting the spinal cord across its entire length.
The Anatomy of the Spine
The vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (fused into the sacrum), and 3-4 coccygeal (fused into the coccyx). It has four curves in the sagittal plane — cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and sacral kyphosis — which act as a spring system to absorb axial loads during locomotion. The primary curves (thoracic and sacral kyphoses) are present at birth; the secondary curves (cervical and lumbar lordoses) develop in infancy as the child lifts their head and begins to walk. The spinal cord descends to approximately L1/L2, below which the cauda equina (a bundle of lumbar and sacral nerve roots) continues to the sacrum.
