What allows our body to be so flexiable? What bones comprise our spinge? What problems can occur with our back

Question

Anwser quick please! I need to know!

Answer 1

Flexibility can come from cartlidge, tissue, and muscles which are attached to the bones. Bones aren't flexable at all really.

Multiple Vertebre make up our spine

Multiple: scholiosis, displaced vertebre, muscle issues, nerve problems, spasms, hernea

Answer 2

It's joints that allow our bodies to be so flexible. Not muscle, not tendons, not cartilage, not ligaments. Without joints how would we flex, rotate and extend using these muscles, tendons and ligaments? Cartilage plays a small role in flexion and cannot flex or extend on its own. Muscle flexibility also plays a part but it's secondary to joints. The primary joints are ball & socket (shoulder), hinge (elbow), pivot (axis - cervical vertebra #2), condyloid (wrist), saddle (thumb) and gliding joints (between the vetebrae).

Working your way down from the skull base the vertebral column is composed of: the cervical spine (C1-C7), the thoracic spine (T1-T12), the lumbar spine (L1-L5) the sacrum and the coccyx. Lots of problems can occur and some have already been mentioned in other answers. Additional problems are spina bifida, arthritis, compression fractures, spinal stenosis, disk injuries/herniation or compression, spinal fractures, muscles sprains and strains, scoliosis.

Answer 3

Bones in our spine??? Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, coccyx
Flexability is due to our ligaments and tendons.

Answer 4

spongy bone example: vertebrae.
