Intervertebral disksDefinition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervertebral_disks) Intervertebral discs (or intervertebral fibrocartilage) lie between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Each disc forms a cartilaginous joint to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together.
