We all have cartilaginous discs that separate the spinal bones, or vertebraes, from each other. These discs allow for movement within the spine. Each disc has a fibrous outside, called the annulus fibrosus, and a liquid center, called the nucleus pulposus. Think of a disc as a jelly donut. The jelly is the nucleus and the donut is the annulus. If the fibers of the inner annulus tear, the jelly nucleus, which is tightly held in the center, follows the path of least resistance and pushes towards the wall of the annulus. When this happens, the wall of the annulus is warped and appears to bulge or protrude. This is known as a protruding annulus or ,in other words, a bulging disc. If the annulus continues to weaken and tear, the nucleus has potential to eject from the disc. The annulus will no longer be bulging, as the wall has opened and the jelly nucleus has squeezed out or herniated. This now constitutes a herniated disc.
A basal annulus is a mushroom with an annulus located near the bottom of the stem.
Monetaria annulus was created in 1758.

what is the function of the annulus, nucleus, neurovascular capsule, and cartilaginous endplate
Yes. An annulus is a circular disc with a concentric circular disc cut out of it.
The annulus on a mushroom, also known as the ring, is a structure that helps protect the developing gills and spores. It is formed by a partial veil that covers the young gills as the mushroom grows. The annulus eventually breaks away from the stem as the mushroom matures.

A left foraminal annular tear is when the annulus fibrosus rips or tears. The annulus fibrosus is the tough exterior of the intervertebral disc.
The strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is called the annulus fibrosus.

Annulus fibrosus cordis
The two parts of the intervertebral disc are the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosis. The nucleus pulposus is considered the central portion while the annulus fibrosis is the anterior area of the disc.
