The individual bones in the backbone or spinal column are called "vertebrae." To verify this answer, you can consult a reliable anatomy or biology resource, such as a textbook or an authoritative website.
The backbone or spinal column is made up of a series of individual bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra is a small, ring-like bone that is stacked on top of one another to form the backbone. These vertebrae provide support and protection for the spinal cord, which runs through the hollow canal formed by the stacked vertebrae. The vertebrae are connected by joints and separated by cushion-like discs of cartilage, allowing for flexibility and movement of the spine.
