Ryggarna

Ryggarna, also known as the Spine, is a series of vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and supporting structures that run along the back of the human body. It serves as the primary axis for the body, providing structural support and facilitating movement. The spine is composed of 33 individual vertebrae, which are categorized into five distinct regions: the cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvic), and coccygeal (tailbone) regions. Each vertebra is connected by intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers and allow for flexibility and mobility. The spine also houses and protects the spinal cord, a crucial component of the nervous system that transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Proper spinal health is essential for overall well-being, as issues such as herniated discs, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Maintaining good posture, engaging in regular physical activity, and practicing proper lifting techniques are key to preserving spinal health.
