vertebrae

The Spanish word 'vértebra' translates to 'vertebrae' in English. Vertebrae are the individual, interlocking bones that stack to make up the spine. They play a crucial role in protecting the spinal cord and providing structural support for the body, allowing us to stand upright, bend, and twist. Much like their English counterpart, the Spanish 'vértebra' carries the same anatomical implications and significance.
