41
Q

Functions of the intervertebral disc

A

Provides support to the verte

42
Q

Intervertebral disc consists of what

What is herniated or ruptured intervertebral disc

A

This is when part of the annulus fibrosus has been removed and the nucleus pulposus become exposed. This can push against the spinal nerve, impairing functioning and cause pain
