To make sure that the needle is not punctured too deep, the length of the needle was decided according to the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus dimensions, which were measured in the ...

The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae, and between the vertebrae is a cushion-like tissue called the 'intervertebral disc' made up of the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus. A disc ...

They have a tough, fibrous, outer membrane (the annulus fibrosus), and an elastic core (the nucleus pulposus). The disks are firmly embedded between the vertebrae and are held in place by the ...

It has three main parts. These are the nucleus pulposus, which is a kind of jelly; the annulus fibrosis, which wraps strongly around it; and at the top and bottom of each disc, the cartilage endplate.

It consists of two distinct components, nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus. The annulus fibrosus is a structure composed of concentric rings of fibro-cartilaginous tissue. It encloses the ...

called the nucleus pulposus, and a tire-like material, called the annulus fibrosus, which surrounds the nucleus. The gelatin substance found in the nucleus consists of collagen, proteoglycans (PG ...

The paper, "Combined Nucleus Pulposus Augmentation and Annulus Fibrosus Repair Prevents Acute Intervertebral Disc Degeneration after Discectomy," published in Science Translational Medicine.

A posterior annular tear is a painful condition characterized by tear or rupture in the annulus fibrosus (outer ... The soft ...

Two types of material make up an intervertebral disc—the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus. The nucleus pulposus resides in the center of the disc and carries a jelly-like consistency.

Disc herniation is a result of the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus through a tear in the annulus fibrosus. The annulus fibrosus may rupture completely, resulting in an extruded disc, or it may ...
