The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Term "Intervertebral Disc":** - The term "intervertebral disc" refers to the structures located between the vertebrae in the vertebral column (spine). 2. **Identifying the Location:** - Intervertebral discs are specifically found between adjacent vertebrae, which are the individual bones that make up the spinal column. 3. **Function of Intervertebral Discs:** - These discs serve several important functions: - They allow for limited movement between the vertebrae, making the joints slightly movable. - They act as shock absorbers, cushioning the impact during activities such as walking or jumping. - They protect the spinal nerves that exit the spinal cord. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options:** - The question provides multiple choices, and we need to identify which one is correct: - Intervertebral discs do not occur in the walls of the heart, the wall of the liver, or in the pubic symphysis. - Therefore, the only correct answer is that intervertebral discs occur between the vertebrae. 5. **Final Answer:** - The intervertebral disc occurs in the vertebral column, specifically between the vertebrae.
