Document Summary

* fibres travel diagonally and are 90 degrees to each other in order to provide movement in all directions made of 2 parts: Anulus fibrosis: peripheral region, ring of cartilage on oudside. Nucleus pulposus: pulpy centre, fluid and gelatinous structure; provides shock absorption more posteriorly oriented-where fibrous ring is thinner. **posterior, lateral part of disc is less supported, therefore it is the easiest place to break through and that"s where most disc herniation of occurs. From the axis to the sacrum, it runs down the posterior surface of vertebral bodies, inside the spinal canal and connects to the rim of the vertebral bodies and the center of the disc. From axis down to sacrum, attaching along the anterior disc and vertebral bodies of the motion segment. Role= limits hyperextension of the spine restrains forward movement of one vertebrae over another. Runs the entire length of the vertebral column connecting spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae.
