The lumbar region of the vertebral column bears the most stress as it supports most of the weight of the upper body. The cervical region, on the other hand, supports the weight of the head and does not bear as much weight as the lumbar region. The sacrum and the sacral promontory are located at the bottom of the vertebral column and do not bear as much weight as the lumbar region.
