GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Intervertebral discs that are found between adjacent vertebrae of the spine contain fibrocartilage . They have a fibrous appearance of mostly collagen fibers with interspersed areas of cartilage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrocartilage provides the tough material of the intervertebral discs; the intraarticular cartilages of the knee, wrist and temporo-mandibular joints; the articular cartilage of the temporo-mandibular joint and of the joint between the clavicle and the sternum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Intervertebral Disc The intervertebral discs are flat, round “cushions” that act as shock absorbers between each vertebra in your spine. There is one disc between each vertebra. Each disc has a strong outer ring of fibers called the annulus, and a soft, jelly-like center called the nucleus pulposus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fibrocartilage is found in the symphysis pubis, theannulus fibrosis ofintervertebral discs, and at points of attachment of tendons to bone. It is a mixture between dense regular connective tissue (similar in many respects to tendon or ligament) and hyaline cartilage.
