Your bones are very rigid and almost non compressible. Cartilage covers the ends of your bones. They have lot of water in them. So they can be compressed to bear the brunt of pressure from bones. This action of cartilages is very important.
What else can I help you with?
What are discs?
Discs are pads of fiber and cartilage that contain rubbery tissue
In-vertebral discs are made of?
fibro cartilage
What are the upper cervical discs?
The discs of cartilage between the vertebrae in the upper part of the neck.
Does elastic or hyaline cartilage make up the intervertebral discs?
The intervertebral discs are made up of fibrocartilage, which is a type of cartilage that has both collagen fibers and cartilage cells. This fibrocartilage provides strength and cushioning to the intervertebral discs, allowing them to absorb shock and maintain the structure of the spine.
What kinda of tissue composes the intevertebral discs?
Cartilage
What type of cartilage has a great deal of collagen in the matrix?
We call cartilage that is high in fiber fibrous cartilage. Fibrous cartilage is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.
Pads of are located between the vertebrae?
The pads of are located between the vertebrae are called intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers and provide cushioning between the vertebrae to support the spine's flexibility and movement. Over time, these discs can degenerate, leading to conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Why are there discs of cartilage in our backbones?
The cartilage discs are the intervertebral discs. These are present to help cushion the bones to prevent the bones grinding into each other (which would cause severe arthritis by the age of 30 if there were no discs). Also, the discs help keep the spine flexible, so you can bend, turn and twist throughout the neck and torso.
What are intervertebral discs composed of?
The intervertebral discs are made of outer annulus fibrosus, which is basically fibrocartilage.
Connective tissue that makes up the intervertebral discs?
Fibrous cartilage
Which type of connective tissue makes up the intervertebral discs?
Cartilage.
What is the cartilagenous parts that separate the vertrbrae?
The intervertebral discs made of cartilage.
