Foetal spinal column. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the spine of a foetus. Intervertebral discs (spongy,oval,dark yellow) are sandwiched between vertebrae (lighter yellow),which are themselves connected by a facet joint. The discs are made of fibrous cartilage,and are used for shock absorption,whilst the many vertebrae allow the spine the flexibility to move | |
