Wikipedia

  1. Intervertebral disc

    An intervertebral disc (or intervertebral fibrocartilage) lies between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint (a symphysis), to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, to act as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together, and to function as a shock absorber for the spine.

ChatGPT

  1. intervertebral disc

    An intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilaginous structure located between each pair of adjacent vertebrae in the spine. It acts as a shock absorber, preventing damage to the vertebrae during physical activities, and provides flexibility to the spine. Each disc is made up of a tough outer ring called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like center known as the nucleus pulposus. Overtime, these discs can wear down or become damaged, leading to conditions like herniated or slipped discs.
