Summary Introduction
To determine:
The function and structure of the nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrosus of the invertebral disc.
Introduction:
Invertebral discs are the fibrocartilage pads in the invertebrates disc. All the vertebral bodies between the axis and the sacrum are separated by these invertebral discs. The invertebral discs consist of two components. One is the anulus fibrosus, and the other is the nucleus pulposus.

She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to be immobilized. The leg hurts and she notes that the ankle is red and swollen. A diagnosis of a simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made. What is the rationale for immobilizing the fractured bone? Include in your explanation a discussion of why movement of the affected area is painful. She is told to come back to the fracture clinic in 24 hours to have her cast checked.
