Fibrocartilage
Elastic Connective
The type of connective tissue between vertebrae is called an intervertebral disc. These discs act as shock absorbers and provide flexibility to the spine. They are made up of a tough outer ring called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner core called the nucleus pulposus.
The human backbone, or vertebral column, is primarily composed of bone tissue, specifically vertebrae, which provide structural support and protect the spinal cord. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs made of fibrocartilage, which act as shock absorbers and allow for flexibility. Additionally, connective tissue, including ligaments and tendons, supports the spine and connects it to surrounding muscles.
Elastic connective tissue.
The soft tissue between vertebrae in the back is primarily composed of intervertebral discs, which consist of a gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus surrounded by a tougher outer ring called the annulus fibrosus. These discs serve as shock absorbers, providing flexibility and support to the spine while allowing for movement between the vertebrae. Additionally, surrounding muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues contribute to the overall structure and function of the vertebral column.
Cartilage is a connective tissue found between bones, joints, the ear, the nose, the rib cage, and at the inter-vertebral discs to act as shock absorbers.
Vertebrae, connective tissue, and liquid fluids
The intervertebral discs are made of fibrocartilage, which is a type of connective tissue that has a combination of fibrous and cartilaginous components. This fibrocartilage structure allows the discs to provide cushioning and support between the vertebrae in the spine.
Areolar tissue which is a loose connective tissue.
Fibrocartilage is the connective tissue that forms pads in the backbone, specifically in the intervertebral discs. These discs help cushion the vertebrae during movement and provide stability to the spine.
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found throughout the body, including in joints, the ear, the nose, and between vertebrae in the spine.
