Vertebrae
Vertebrae are the bones found in the spine of most animals, including humans. They provide structure and support for the body, allowing us to stand upright and allowing us to move and bend in many directions. Vertebrae also protect our delicate spinal cord, which is a key component of the nervous system. Disorders of the vertebrae, such as scoliosis, can have severe impacts on physical health and quality of life. Furthermore, vertebrae play a significant role in medical imaging, providing information about the anatomy and helping to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions.

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body, including the hip and thigh bones. Bone marrow contains cells called stem cells. When disease affects bone marrow so that it can no longer function effectively, a marrow or cord blood transplant could be the best treatment option; for some patients it is the only potential cure.
