In the vertebrate spinal column, each vertebra is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, the proportions of which vary according to the segment of the backbone and the species of vertebrate animal.he upper and lower surfaces of the vertebra body give attachment to the intervertebral discs. The posterior part of a vertebra forms a vertebral arch, in eleven parts, consisting of two pedicles, two laminae, and seven processes. The laminae give attachment to the ligamenta flava.
Each disc articulates with a vertebral body above and below it and provides three crucial services to the spinal column: 1) To support the axial load on the column as it is delivered by body mass and gravity 2) to assist in range of motion at the spine and 3) to serve ligamental functions between vertebral bodies.
