This review details the intervertebral disc structure, focusing on the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus. Understanding this anatomy is key for insights into degenerative disc diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Anatomy
  • Biophysics

Context:

  • The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a complex spinal structure.
  • Degenerative disc diseases represent a significant clinical challenge.
  • Understanding IVD biomechanics is crucial for therapeutic development.

Purpose:

  • To review key data on intervertebral disc structure.
  • To highlight applications in understanding degenerative disc pathology.
  • To provide a foundation for further research into IVD health and disease.

Summary:

  • The intervertebral disc comprises a central, hydrophilic nucleus pulposus acting as a hydraulic chamber.
  • This nucleus is encased by the annulus fibrosus, a dense ring of concentric lamellae.
  • Cartilaginous end plates connect the disc to vertebral bone, facilitating nutrient exchange.

Impact:

  • Provides a foundational understanding of spinal anatomy relevant to biomechanics.
  • Offers insights into the structural basis of degenerative disc pathologies.
  • Establishes context for companion articles on disc metabolism and vascularization.
