释义
vertebra
(once / 3432 pages)
n

A vertebra is one of the little bones in your spinal column; there are vertebrae up and down your back.
Your whole body is full of bones, and one of those types of bones are vertebrae: the bones in your back. These bones are very important because they protect your spinal column, which allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body. A serious back injury could damage a vertebra, resulting in pain or spinal damage. If you bend over and then straighten up slowly, you can feel yourself rising one vertebra at a time.
