Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

  • <u>NUCLEUS PULPOSUS:</u>

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

  • <u>ANNULUS FIBROSUS:</u>

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>

From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.

Why do plants have a cell wall and animals cells don’t?
algol [13]
Cell walls are supporting structures that help the plant to have a fixed shape and protect it from injury. Other than that, it helps to keep the plant turgid so that it can stay firm and upright. Because when it enters a high water potential solution, as water moves in, the water exerts turgor pressure on the cell wall and the cell wall thus exerts an opposing pressure to keep water out. Hence cell wall is needed for the plant.

On the other hand, animal cells do not need to keep the structures, as they have the skeletal system to protect the organs and cushion them against any
external injuries.
