A schematic cross-sectional illustration depicts posterior extrusion of the nucleus pulposus (NP) through a disrupted annulus fibrosus (AF), consistent with a herniated intervertebral disc. In biological hierarchy, the disc is a fibrocartilaginous anatomical structure within the vertebral column, composed of an inner NP surrounded by the AF. The image relates to spine anatomy and pathology (orthopedics/neurology) and shows prolapse toward the spinal canal, potentially compressing neural elements. Functionally, the intervertebral disc distributes load and provides shock absorption between adjacent vertebrae.
