The vertebral column is closely associated with the nervous system. The spinal cord, which is a part of the central nervous system, passes through the vertebral canal, a narrow tube formed by the vertebrae. The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae and is responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
The vertebrae and nerves work together to facilitate communication between the brain and the rest of the body, enabling movement, sensation, and control of various bodily functions. vertebrae with nerves
