Each intervertebral fibrocartilage is composed, at its circumference, of laminæ of fibrous tissue and fibrocartilage, forming the annulus fibrosus.
[edit] Spelling notes
Either "anulus" or "annulus" are correct spellings. Gray's Anatomy uses "annulus fibrosus," Terminologia Anatomica uses "anulus fibrosus," and Nomina Anatomica uses both forms. A Google search indicates that "annulus fibrosus" is the most common usage.
"Fibrosus" has no correct alternative spelling; "fibrosis" has a different meaning and is incorrect in this context. See: AJNR
