Question

Inter-articular disc occurs in

• A. Wall of heart
• B. Wall of liver
• C. Pubic symphysis
• D. In between two vertebrae

Answer 1

The correct option is D In between two vertebrae

• In humans, the vertebral column is formed by 26 serially arranged units called vertebrae and is dorsally placed.
  
• The interarticular disc is a thin, oval plate of fibrous cartilage.
• Each interarticular disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint (a symphysis), to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together. Hence Inter-articular disc occurs in between the two vertebrae.
• So, the correct answer is 'In between two vertebrae'.
