We just learned about the connective tissue the Supraspinous Ligament that goes over the back of your spine.
Another piece of connective tissue is the Intervertebral Disc, or the Intervertebral Fibrocartilage.
This is the piece of cartilage that is in between each of your vertebrae in your spine.
These discs protect each of your vertebrae from bumping against each other, and also helps hold them together.
They also work like shock absorbers so when you are jumping up and down, all the vertebrae in your spine have soft cushions between them.
