| Description: Intervertebral discs separate the vertebrae from one another. They are located between the bodies of the vertebrae from the second cervical to the sacrum. Each disc has an outer ring of fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus) which surrounds soft, pulpy nucleus (nucleus pulposus). The top and bottom of each disc has a layer of hyaline cartilage. They are used to absorb shock and create spaces between vertebrae.
