gerincben

Gerincben is a term that refers to the spine or backbone in Hungarian. The spinal column is a complex structure made up of a series of bones called vertebrae, which are stacked on top of each other. These vertebrae protect the spinal cord, a crucial part of the central nervous system that transmits nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The gerincben also provides structural support for the body, allowing for movement and posture.

Between each vertebra, there are intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers and allow for flexibility. The gerincben is divided into several regions: the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back), lumbar spine (lower back), sacrum, and coccyx (tailbone). Each region has a specific number of vertebrae and serves distinct functions.

Various conditions can affect the gerincben, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis. These issues can lead to pain, stiffness, and other neurological symptoms. Maintaining good posture, regular exercise, and proper lifting techniques are important for supporting the health of the gerincben.
