Vertebral column; also called spinal column, spine, or backbone; is a flexible column extending from neck to lower back. The major function of vertebral column is to protect the spinal cord and provide stiffening for the body. It also transmits body weight in walking and standing. The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae. This number may diminish in one region, the deficiency often being supplied by an additional vertebra. Now, the product that I have designed is a synthetic vertebrae. This product can solve the problem of displacing of spinal cord. In the old age, people’s spinal cord becomes brittle. The synthetic vertebrae fight against brittle bones and give stiffness to the body. Meanwhile, it also gives flexibility to the back. A person can move up and down, right and left easily. Most important features that allow the design to perform its intended purposes are the structure of the device, artificial intervertebral disk, and artificial spinal nerves. First feature is the shape and size of the device. The device is made in a way that it looks just like the real vertebrae, with its size and shape. Thus, the device can perfectly fit in the space of the real vertebrae without any dilemma. The machine’s structure can provide flexibility to the body. It also allows the body to move freely. Basically, the structure of the …show more content…
This feature can help the body in fighting against brittle bones and give stiffness to the body. The intervertebral disk provides internal structure support. It helps in bringing pain relief to the body and restoring one’s ability to function correctly. The artificial intervertebral disk is designed to take in weight and keep the spine flexible by its spring like structure. Because of this cushion effect, the device can pull up the weight of the body and absorb
