The discs in the neck can become paper thin due to a combination of factors, including aging, wear and tear from repetitive movement, and injury. As we age, the discs lose water content and elasticity, leading to degeneration. Additionally, conditions like herniation or degenerative disc disease can contribute to the thinning of these discs. Poor posture and lifestyle factors, such as lack of exercise, can also accelerate the deterioration of spinal discs.
With paper, it can be so thin that when it rubs and touches one of your cells it cuts you and causes your skin to bleed.

Thin filaments in muscle cells attach to the Z-discs, which are structures that anchor the filaments and help in muscle contraction. The Z-discs are located at the ends of the sarcomere, which is the basic contractile unit in muscle fibers. The attachment of thin filaments to the Z-discs allows for the sliding mechanism that is essential for muscle contraction.
