What is an intervertebral disc in your spine, and what happens when it herniates? In the most basic sense, an intervertebral disc is a joint that connects two bones (vertebral bodies) in your spine, similar to how a knee joint connects two bones in your leg. Discs are highly specialized, however, and do not look like other joints. The interior of the disc (nucleus pulposis) is soft and spongy, made up of loose collagen fibers and water molecules. The exterior of the disc (annulus fibrosis) is a tough, fibrous rind that encloses the soft, gelatinous material inside. Together, they form a shock-absorbing unit linking vertebral bodies together and providing flexibility to the spine.
