A herniated disc primarily affects the fibrocartilage of the intervertebral discs, which are located between the vertebrae in the spine. These discs consist of an outer layer called the annulus fibrosus, made of fibrocartilage, and a gel-like center known as the nucleus pulposus, which is composed of a more gelatinous substance. When a disc herniates, the annulus fibrosus may tear, allowing the nucleus pulposus to protrude and potentially compress nearby nerves. This can lead to pain and neurological symptoms.
