Detailed explanation-1: -Bones also protect the body’s organs. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column.
Detailed explanation-2: -The spinal cord is protected by bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. The spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord passes through a hole in the center (called the spinal canal) of each vertebra. Between the vertebrae there are discs that act as cushions, or shock absorbers for the spine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main purpose of the axial skeleton is to provide protection for the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and vital organs, such as the heart and lungs.
