Veins
These are blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart from the rest of your body. They are made up of different layers in a tube, like arteries, but are not as strong.

Vertebra
The bones that make up your spine. Each vertebra has a hole in the middle so that the spinal cord can pass through it. You have 33 vertebrae in your spine.
