Quick Answer. According to the New York University Langone Medical Center, intervertebral discs are made up of fibrocartilage tissue, which has two layers. While the inner portion resembles jelly, the outermost part has strong and fibrous layers. About 90 percent of this tissue is water.
Intercalated discs support synchronised contraction of cardiac tissue. They occur at the Z line of the sarcomere and can be visualized easily when observing a longitudinal section of the tissue. Three types of cell junction make up an intercalated disc â fascia adherens, desmosomes and gap junctions.1  Fascia adherens are anchoring sites for actin, and connect to the closest sarcomere. 2  Desmosomes stop separation during contraction by binding intermediate filaments, joining the cells together.olecular, biological, and comprehensive studies have shown that intercalated discs consist for the most part of mixed type adherens junctions, termed composite junctions or areae compositae (singular area composita).
