What else can I help you with?
Why are there discs of cartilage in the vertebral column?
Cartilage disks in the vertebral column provide flexibility and shock absorbing qualities to the spine. These disks become less elastic with age.
Can ruptured intervertebral disks lead to paralysis in a dog?
Ruptured inter-vertebral disks can lead to paralysis in a dog because they affect the spinal cord.
Is a backbone a intervertebral disk?
No. "Backbone" is a common name for the spinal/vertebral column. Intervertebral disks are the the pieces of cartilage found between the individual vertebral bones in the column/backbone.
What is the function of the inter vertebral disks?
Shock absorbent between each vertebrae which keeps them separated when impacted by movement
Where in body you finddiscoosteophytic?
In your vertebral column (spine, backbone). The term "disk" refers to your spinal disks; which are the ones that give motility and support to your spine.
What joint are the vertebral disks that allow twisting turning and sliding?
The joints between the vertebral disks that allow twisting, turning, and sliding are the facet joints, also known as zygapophyseal joints. These are synovial joints located between the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae. They enable a range of movements in the spine, including rotation and lateral bending, while providing stability and support. The intervertebral disks themselves act as shock absorbers and allow for some degree of movement between the vertebrae.
What is the average age of onset for sciatica?
It is most common in people who are between 30 and 50 years of age, as those are the ages most prone to herniating vertebral disks.
How can i have my scratched disks repaired?

Is a backbone an intervertebral disk?
No. "Backbone" is a common name for the spinal/vertebral column. Intervertebral disks are the the pieces of cartilage found between the individual vertebral bones in the column/backbone.
Two factors that permit flexability of the vertebral column?
The presence of the discs and the S-shaped or springlike construction of the vertebral column prevent shock to the head in walking and running and provide flexibility to the body trunk.
Compression is a force that affects what area of the spine?
Compression affects the vertebral bodies of the spine, particularly the intervertebral discs. This force can lead to conditions like disc herniation or spinal stenosis.
What is your spine made of?
The vertebral column,also called spinal column, spine, or backbone, in vertebrate animals is the flexible column extending from neck to tail, made of a series of bones, the vertebrae. Also ligaments which hold bones to bones are present. Vertebral disks made of fibrocartilage are found between the vertebral bones.
