The main function of the spinal column (vertebral column) is to protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a soft bundle of nerves that sends messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Between each vertebra are cartilage discs that act as cushions and allow flexibility, so we can bend and move without damaging the spinal cord.
