The major components of a typical vertebra include the vertebral body, articular processes, and vertebral arch. The vertebral body is the solid anterior portion of the bone, while the articular processes are the bony projections on the posterior side that form joints with adjacent vertebrae. The vertebral arch encloses the vertebral foramen, which contains the spinal cord. Intervertebral discs and foramina are also present, but they are not considered major components of the vertebra itself.
