Homonym: Backs (Support)
The term "backs" generally refers to the rear side of the human body, specifically the area extending from the neck to the lower spine. This region includes various structures such as muscles, bones, and nerves, which play a crucial role in supporting the body and facilitating movement. The back is essential for maintaining posture and balance.
In anatomy, the back is divided into several sections: the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. Each section has specific functions and is composed of different vertebrae. Proper care of the back, including exercises and ergonomic practices, is important for overall health and well-being.
