The development of spinal curvature and intervertebral discs begins during fetal development and continues into early adulthood. Curves in the spine, such as cervical and lumbar lordosis, typically form as a child begins to sit, crawl, and walk, usually stabilizing by the age of 18. Intervertebral discs develop alongside vertebral growth, with their structure and function maturing significantly during childhood and adolescence. Overall, this developmental process can span several years, often concluding by the late teens to early twenties.

Where the major cartilages in adult skeleton?
The major cartilages in the adult skeleton include the hyaline cartilage found at the ends of long bones, the fibrocartilage in intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis, and the elastic cartilage in the external ear and larynx. These cartilages provide structural support, cushioning, and flexibility to various parts of the skeleton.
What are the advantages of the spine being made up of smaller bones than one solid bone?
One long bone would not allow for the flexibility of motion which multiple bones, cushioned by intervertebral discs, allow for.
Is Fibro cartilage is the most common type of cartilage in the body?
No, fibrocartilage is not the most common type of cartilage in the body. Hyaline cartilage is the most common type and is found in areas such as the nose, respiratory tract, and the ends of long bones. Fibrocartilage is found in structures like intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.
What are three places can cartilage be found?
It can be found in more than three places. But there are three types.Fibrous cartilage has a lot of collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.Hyaline cartilage is found in the embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, costal cartilages, cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.Elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in the matrix and it is found in the external ear and epiglottis.
Why does a crush fracture of a thoracic vertebra rarely result in damage to the spinal cord?
In a crush fracture, the vertebral body collapses. This may not cause displacement of intervertebral (IV) discs or any of the verebral components. Thus, the spinal cord is unlikely to get injured. Crush fracture of the body indicates collapse, and so long the vertebral arch and IV discs are not dirupted the spinal canal will not be compromised. But that may also be applicable to all regions. The thoracic region however as it is convex posteriorly, collapse of the vertebral body will simply increase the convexity.
Will the PlayStation 3 still play Blu-Ray discs if you change the hard drive?
It should, as long as you don't play with the part that reads the discs directly.
How does the line of sight curvature of the earth affect long-distance communication?
The curvature of the Earth can obstruct the line of sight between two distant points, making it harder for long-distance communication to occur without the use of technology like satellites or repeater stations.
What do cartilaginous joints do?
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the manubrium and the sternum. Cartilaginous joints also form the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
Why do you think Lindbergh's flight line is not a straight line from Long Island to Paris?
Because it followed the curvature of the earth.
What is the strongest cartilage in the human body?
The strongest cartilage in the human body is the fibrocartilage, found in structures like the intervertebral discs and the knee meniscus. Fibrocartilage is a tough and durable type of cartilage that can withstand compression and tension forces in these weight-bearing areas.
What is it a solid state drive does?
A solid state drive is a data storage device that stores information on discs can be read on a computer. It can also be read on portal drives as long as it is compatible with the discs that the information is stored on.
What is the greater curvature in the stomach?
The stomach, part of the gastrointestinal tract, is a digestive organ located between the esophagus and the duodenum. It has a 'J' shape, and features a lesser and greater curvature. The anterior and posterior surfaces are smoothly rounded with a peritoneal covering. The greater curvature forms the long, convex, lateral border of the stomach. Arising at the cardiac orifice, it arches backwards and passes inferiorly to the left. It curves to the right as it continues medially to reach the pyloric antrum (opening to the pylorus).
