The area of the spine is called what?

Think of the spine in terms of its bones. The area of the spine is described by the term vertebral, which relates to a vertebra or the vertebral column—the bones that make up the spine. The vertebral designation specifically points to the spinal bones and their region. The other terms describe planes or a generic flat surface rather than a region of the spine, so they don’t name the spinal area as precisely.
