A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.

The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-

They have a consistent number of particles - the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.

They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.

Explanation for other options:

Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.

vichka [17]

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.
