intervertebral foramina
There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves that exit the vertebral column: 8 cervical (C1-C8), 12 thoracic (T1-T12), 5 lumbar (L1-L5), 5 sacral (S1-S5), and 1 coccygeal (Co).

The articulations of the human skull and vertebral column consist of a series of amphiarthrodial joints between the vertebral bodies, and a series of diathrodial joints between the vertebral arches. The articulations of the rat skull and vertebral column consist of cervical vertebrae which have small, transverse processes containing a hole through which nerves and blood vessels pass.
The primary purpose of a vertebral column is to protect the group of nerves thus enclosed. Consider the fish, or most animals which have a horizontal column. This column also acts as an anchorage for muscles and tendons, thus facilitating movement of the organism. Only in a few animals, is the vertebral column approximately vertical, and in this attitude, it enhances the apparent height of the animal, thus offering the animal a superior height for vision.
Sympathetic nerves exit the central nervous system through the spinal nerves.
The spinal cord is the long cord of nerves that connects the brain to the rest of the body below the neck. The backbone (vertebral column) made up of individual vertebrae provides flexible protection for the critical structure.
on the concave side of the kidney , which faces the vertebral column, lies a depressin called Hilus. it provides a placefr the renal vessels, nerves and the ureter to enter or leave the kidney.

spinal cord
You can find nerve tissue mostly in your spinal cord. Your spine protects your spinal cord. An other word for the spine is vertebral column.
spinal nerves
The hole in each vertebra forms the vertebral foramen through which the spinal cord passes. This structure provides protection and support for the spinal cord while allowing for nerves to branch out from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.
