 inter vert eb ml is. 



Each inter vert ebral disc consists of a broad fibrous ring, 

 which contains in its center a softer substance rising up somewhat on 

 section. With the fibrous ring the Ligamentum lonyitudinalc antcrius and 

 postering are closely connected. 



The Ligamenta sulflava consist of elastic fibres and are attached 

 each between the laminae of 2 vertebrae, so that they run from the lower 

 margin of the lamina above to the posterior surface of the lamina below. 



The ascending and descending articular processes of the vertebrae 

 form a'rticulations, Articulationes processuwn articular mm, which are surroun- 

 ded by capsular ligaments.
