AUDITIONS FOR THE NUTCRACKER--August 27thThe 14th Annual Space Coast Ballet Company's The Nutcracker will be held at the King Center on Saturday, December 3.
Many nerves of the cauda equina at the inferior end of the spinal cord pass through the sacrum. These nerves enter the sacrum from the vertebral foramen of the lumbar vertebrae through the tunnel-like sacral canal.
There are 5 major regions of the spine: 1  Cervical: The 7 vertebrae in the neck form the cervical region of the spine. 2  Thoracic: The 12 vertebrae in the chest region form the spineâs thoracic region.  Lumbar: The 5 vertebrae in the lower back form the lumbar region of the spine. Lumbar vertebrae are even larger and stronger than thoracic vertebrae, but are more flexible due to the lack of ribs in the lumbar region. All of the upper bodyâs weight bears down on the lumbar vertebrae, leading to many back problems in this region despite the size and strength of the vertebrae.
