Your Backbone is: your Spine. You got to have your backbone to be functional. It comprises your cervical, throacic, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx. Made up of vertebral segments that house the spinal canal in which your spinal cord lives & your nerve root originate from. It protects your spinal cord and allows you to walk, use your arms, control your bowel & bladder function, breath. Definitely Important Function!
