Which of Following Best Describes the Function of the Vertebral

Question

Which of following best describes the function of the vertebral curves?
A) accommodating muscle attachment
B) providing balance and flexibility to the body
C) improving cervical center of gravity
D) accommodating the weight of the pelvic girdle

Accepted Answer

The vertebral curves provide balance and flexibility to the body by distributing weight evenly and allowing for movement. The cervical curve specifically helps to maintain the center of gravity over the pelvis. While muscles do attach to the vertebral column, this is not the primary function of the curves. The weight of the pelvic girdle is supported by the pelvic bones, not the vertebral column.
