Vertebrae are the small bones that stack up to form your spine (backbone). Each one is called a vertebra, and 'vertebrae' is the plural — you almost always hear this word in the plural, since the spine is made of many of them together (about 33 in a human). It's mostly used in medical or biology contexts — a doctor might talk about 'damaged vertebrae' after a back injury.
脊椎骨（複數）
組成From Latin 'vertebra', related to 'vertere' (to turn) — because each bone can turn slightly against the next one.
