The thread, thus, connected to each other by ligaments in the intervertebral discs. The openings in the vertebrae form a canal in which lies the spinal cord; its roots contain the sensory nerve fibers come out between each pair of vertebrae. The flexion of the spinal column the intervertebral discs, just pressed slightly on the side of the hill, in its core, so as to be shifted in the opposite direction.
