Pathology of disk degeneration
2001
The intervertebral disk is a proper intersomatic joint between two vertebrae, allowing pluridirectional movements. The disk, composed of the pulposus and gelatinous nucleus with collagen fibers and contained inside a fibrous ring, changes its morphology during movements of the column. The intervertebral disks are maintained in place by the two anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments, which are also the longitudinal union means of the vertebral bodies.
