Brain is a complex structure which control and coordinates different body function by the cells called nerves. These nerves pass signals from the brain to different parts of the body and receive signals from the different parts of the body and transmit it to the brain. Where these signals and understood and necessary action is taken immediately. The spinal cord is a structure which is continuous structure from the medulla oblongata of the brain and extends up to first or second vertebrae. It is about 45 cms in length.

- The muscular makeup of the dorsal region is a complex arrangement of a variety of different muscles with various functions to provide support while allow muscles provide the anterior support and also aid the back muscles in movement such as lifting an object. Some back pains are the result of weak abdom column.
