The spine does much more than hold us upright. It protects the spinal cord, allows movement, and acts as the body’s communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body. But what happens when that system is damaged?

In this episode, you’ll learn the basic anatomy of the spine, the different regions of the vertebral column, and the important role the spinal cord plays in movement and sensation. You’ll also discover why understanding spinal anatomy helps first aiders recognise and manage potential spinal injuries.
