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 help is there for pain caused by disintegration of cartilage between vertebrae?
There is little that can be done about the cause of the pain. In some situation the vertebrae can be fused so as to not be able to move in relation to each other. however this procedure itself caries serious risks.
Does running make you shorter?
yes actually um no. maybe whilst your running, your vertebrae could bend slightly due to the pressure but once you get rest it straightens out because of the cartilage that is in between your spinal vertebrae. The cartilage is a gel-like substance and it is there for protection. So no worries, just don't listen to scientists and conduct your own experiments:)
What is a cartilage in the human body?
Cartilage is a precursor to bone in developing fetuses and any cartilage left over after birth (ie in ears and nose) is to provide structure and shape to something. Without ear cartilage, the ear might be floppy and not work to catch sound waves. Cartilage can also help to protect joints by providing a cartilage cushion between two bones in a joint. Your knee is a good example of this - cartilage inside the knee absorbs impact whenever your foot hits the ground and prevents wear and tear on the bones of the knee joint.
How many curvature does vertebral column have?
You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
Why do you need cartilage?
So the vertebrae in your spine will not grind agaist each other.

What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
What is the advantage of having a softer material between the bones?
If bones did not have a softer material (cartilage) between them, then they would grind against each other, which would cause damage. The bones would wear out at the joints.
Why are cartilage important?
As the primary buffer between bones, this pliable, rubbery tissue known as cartilage is responsible for supporting your weight when you stand, bend, run, and so on. As well, it acts as a cushion and shock-absorber, helping to reduce friction between joints as well as hold bones together.
What are the two important jobs cartilage do?
Can you please put the right answer your so dumb
