The lumbar spine

The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae, small cylindrical bones and empty bunk in their center (see diagram above). The spinal cord passes into the cavity. The marrow consists of a bundle of nerve fibers motor, sensory and associative. The space between the vertebrae is cushioned by a disk of soft tissue that contains a gel which serves to allow the mobility of the vertebrae, while preventing them from rubbing against each other. The whole is surrounded by muscles, tendons and ligaments whose role is to ensure stability and mobility of the delicate joints of the spine.
