A vertebra (plural: vertebrae) is an individual bone in the flexible column that defines vertebrate animals, e.g., humans. The vertebral column encases and protects the spinal cord, which runs from the base of the cranium down the dorsal side of the animal until reaching the pelvis. From there, vertebrae continue into the tail.
