The canine intervertebral disk: part one: structure and function

JP Bray and HM Burbidge

Intervertebral disk disease continues to be a common and debilitating condition of dogs. In the first of a two-part article on the canine intervertebral disk, the microscopic and ultrastructural anatomy of the normal, nonchondrodystrophoid disk is described. Specific attention is placed on elements of the structure which impart important functional attributes. Finally, the role of the intervertebral disk in providing flexibility to the vertebral column is discussed, with a description of its biomechanical properties and reaction to compressive loads.
