Q

Know parts of the intervertebral disc (annulus fibrosus and nucleos pulposus) and explains the condition of a ruptured disc

A

anulus fibrosus: outer ring of fibrocartilage

nucleus pulposus: gelatinous consistency in the middle

Condition of a ruptured disc:

  • Disc then bulges to push on nearby nerve
  • This cause discomfort
