What else can I help you with?
What is between each vertebrae and what purpose does it have?
intervertebral discs made of fibrous cartilage that act as shock absorbers and allow the back to move.
What is the relation between cartilage and bones?
Cartilage cushions the joints
A pic of cushions of cartilage between the vertebrae of the spine?
The cushions of cartilage between the vertebrae of the spine are called intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers and help provide flexibility and cushioning between the vertebrae. They consist of a tough outer layer called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner core called the nucleus pulposus.
What cushions vertebrae?
A disc. The circular cushions between the vertebrae are called discs. It can also be spelt disks.
What cushions and reduces friction between bones?
cartilage
What keeps cartilage from rubbing together?
There is a cartilage disc between each vertebrae.
What is located between the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs are located between the vertebrae. These discs act as cushions and provide flexibility to the spine, allowing for movement and protecting the bones from rubbing against each other.
What is a disk in your back?
The disks in your back are structures that act as cushions between the vertebrae of the spine. They contain a jelly-like substance called nucleus pulposus, surrounded by a tough outer layer. The disks help absorb shock and allow for movement of the spine.
What is a disc in the body?
the fleshy pads of cartilage between the vertebrae
Why are there discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column?
The reason there are discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column is because it is to cushion the vertebrae from grinding against each other, which is what happens when arthritis/age sets in, causing the discs of cartilage to erode and letting the vertebrae grind against each other/crush the spinal cord, causing pain and/or paralysis
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.
Type of cartilage between the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs are made of fibrocartilage, serving as shock absorbers and allowing for movement between the vertebrae.
