Lead

@Chiswick Chap:: Sorry, I just noticed that the lead has some information that is not repeated in the body: "consisting of vertebrae and intervertebral discs" and "The vertebrae are irregular bones, and the intervertebral discs are of fibrocartilage.". Just remove, or add something to the body? Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove, it's not needed, specially in the lead. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
