A Haman Shock Absorber
Inside the spinal column of a human, there are 24 bones referred to as vertebrae, Between cach vertebra bone is a circular-shaped disc. These discs, separated into five distinct sections, rotate or move around as your body moves. If a basketball player jumps and shoots the ball, the disc will turn inside the spinal column. This allows the player to twist in the air. Connecting all this bones and discs is tissue callud ligaments. These ligaments are just like elastic band, stretching and moving as you do. When a person falls or lands on the ground very hard, the vertebrae, discs and ligaments absorb the shock so that you don't get hurt. Together, these three parts function as a joint. allowing our body to bend or twist.
