How the model is used in teaching
An intervertebral disc has a tough outer ring and a soft, gel-like centre. When the outer ring tears, part of the centre can push out of place; this is a herniated or slipped disc. In the lumbar region, which carries most of the body's weight, a herniated disc can press on a spinal nerve root and cause pain in the back or down the leg.
This model places a herniated disc among the lumbar vertebrae and continues down to the sacrum and coccyx at the base of the spine. Students can compare the damaged disc with the space it should occupy and see how close it lies to the nerves leaving the spine.
- Identify the lumbar vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx.
- Locate the herniated disc between two vertebrae.
- Discuss the structure of a healthy disc and how herniation happens.
- Relate the position of the herniation to back pain and sciatica.
