The cartilaginous parts that seperate the vertebrae are called?
The intervertebral discs are ligaments that consist of fibrocartilage and help to absorb shock from adjacent vertebrae.
What kind of tissue makes up the intervertebral disc's?
The material is fibrocartilage, more specifically white fibrocartilage.The individual vertebrae are separated by pads of fibrocartilage (interverterbral discs) that absorb shocks while providing the spine flexibilty.
The major function of the intervertebral disc is to?
absorb shock
The structures that absorb and disperse stress on the spine are?
The nucleus of the intervertebral disks absorb and disperse stress on the spine. It contains fibers suspended in a gel somewhat like jelly.
What type of fibers do intervertebral discs contain to absorb shock?
annulus pulposus
Is a specialized connective tissue located in the intervertebral disks to absorb shock?
fibrocartlige
What is use of cushion in hydraulic system?
to absorb the vibration damping.
The reason that intervertebral discs exhibit a large amount of tensile strength to absorb shock is because they possess?
collagen fibers
What is the function and location of the fibrocartilage?
Fibrocartilage is a particularly strong and durable type of cartilage and is found between the vertebrae of the spine, in the knees and in the pubic symphysis. It is found in these areas as they are all areas in the body which take a lot of strain and the cartilage therefore needs to be extra strong to absorb this strain. It also provides padding between the vertebrae, protects the spinal cord, absorbs shock and supports the spine.

Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What do shock?
Cushion rebound from moving parts of your suspension. 2nd Answer: The springs of a car absorb shocks and provide a cushion for the car. The "shock absorbers" actually stop the wheels from bouncing up and down like a ball. A better name for them would have been, "Rebound dampers".
How are car tires used?
Car tires cover the wheel rim. They are made of rubber with grooves to provide traction and act as a cushion to absorb the shock from large bumps or jolts.
