Cisco Catalyst 3750 Stack Question

I am looking at using 3 x Cisco 3570 switches. I will be stacking the switches using the stackwise connections at the back of the switches. I realise that one switch elected as the stack master and the others will be elected members.

One thing that I am unsure of is whether the stackwise connections are used to pass user traffic between the switches as well as stack communications???

Will I still have to implement and configure normal trunk links and uplinks etc between the switches to pass user traffic between the switches.

Cheers.

So the stack connection is like having a backplane in the 6500 series?
