Healthy spine
Healthy spine. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a healthy human spine seen from the side (sagittal side). The front of the spine is on the left. The spine is a flexible column of 33 bones called the vertebrae (light green blocks), which are separated by intervertebral discs (dark green) made of cartilage. It extends from the base of the skull to the bottom of the back, supporting the head and trunk as well as enclosing and protecting the spinal cord

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and healthy human spine, captured through the lens of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The image reveals the intricate details of this flexible column composed of 33 bones known as vertebrae. As we observe from the side, with the front on the left, we gain insight into how this crucial structure supports our entire body. The light green blocks represent each individual vertebra while the dark green intervertebral discs made of cartilage separate them. This ingenious design allows for movement and flexibility while maintaining stability and protection for our spinal cord. From its base at the skull to its lowermost point in our back, this remarkable skeletal framework plays a vital role in supporting both our head and trunk. Not only does it serve as a strong foundation for our body, but it also encloses and safeguards our precious spinal cord. This incredible network of nerves acts as a communication highway between our brain and other parts of the body. Through this mesmerizing photograph by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the complexity and resilience inherent within us. It serves as a visual testament to the importance of maintaining good spinal health to ensure overall well-being.
