Everyday we are using our spine, cause it's like the information tube inside of our body. The spine had a lot of complex too, the vertebrae can be luxated specially if you are doing an impact sport (basketball, volleyball, football, rugby, etc)
The spine medula is the information conduit, it works together with the brain, and the spine protect it. The brain sends electric impulses to the leg to move it and contract the musles, but that impulses pass around the spine and spine medula first.

The spine is the most important part of our body, 'cause... as i said before, the brain is the generator of feelings, nervous signals, is also the regulator of the endocrine system, which is related to the hormone release. But if the spine doesn´t exist, the spine medula doesn´t had a protection, that will be really bad, 'cause any hit in the back can destroy and cut the spine medula, and also we can´t move cause we don´t had the vertebrae joints. Without the spine , our movements was really limitated.

The spine is located in the back, under the head until our sacrum and it's size can change depending of the person, but commonly it has an average size of 29.53in

As a complex structure, the spine can had a lot of illnesses that could be fatal. I will rate the most common spine illnesses:

1) Herniated disc: The common cause  of herniated disc is the age, because with the pass of ages, the disc material begins to degenerate and the ligaments that hold it in place begin to weaken  and the bones start to compress the spinal nerves, causing an acute lumabr pain.

2)Scoliosis: The most common spine disease in women, the scoliosis is a sideway curvature in spine. It's occur commonly in the growth before the puberty and the causes are very varaited, infections or tumors in the spine, bad posture, neuromuscular conditions, etc.

3)Sclerosis: Is a degenerative, autoimmune and chronic spine disease, it affects brain and spine medula, the cause are unknown yet, but the specialists says that it can be a autoimmunitary cause that affects the myelin protection around the neurone axon, interruping the nervous impulses.

Tips to keep our spine healthy:

1) Sport, don't be lazy, the spine joints need lubrication and the sport give that lubrication.
2) Musle stretch, it helps to the lubrication too.
3) Right posture at work or studying.
