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.
The intervertebral disc functions to separate the vertebrae from each other and provides the surface for the shock-absorbing gel of the nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus of the disc functions to distribute hydraulic pressure in all directions within each intervertebral disc under compressive loads.
