Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Anatomy

Anatomically accurate medical illustration of a lumbar intervertebral disc shown in cross-section and lateral cutaway view. Clearly depicts the nucleus pulposus (soft gel-like center) and the annulus fibrosus (concentric fibrocartilage rings surrounding it), with superior and inferior cartilaginous endplates. Clean clinical illustration style, white or very light background, subtle professional labeling. Photorealistic medical illustration quality consistent with Gray's Anatomy or a spine surgery textbook. No surrounding vertebrae — disc only, centered and prominent.
