The central body of a vertebra in the spine, or more generally, any central point or core structure.
Latin word meaning 'center.' Adopted directly into anatomical terminology where it remains the standard term for vertebral anatomy.
Your spine is built like a stack of coins, and the 'centrum' is the thick, solid disc part that bears most of your body's weight—it's the heavy lifter of your skeleton, supporting you as you move around all day.
