Although previous studies failed to demonstrate elastic fibers in intervertebral discs, electron microscopy of twenty human intervertebral discs obtained at autopsy and operation revealed characteristic elastic fibers in both the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus. Their contribution to the mechanical properties of the intervertebral disc remains to be determined.
尽管先前的研究未能在椎间盘中证实弹性纤维的存在,但对20个在尸检和手术中获取的人类椎间盘进行电子显微镜检查发现,纤维环和髓核中均存在特征性的弹性纤维。它们对椎间盘力学性能的作用仍有待确定。
