The structure in the spine that absorbs shocks from the body's movements is the intervertebral disc. These discs are located between the vertebrae and consist of a tough outer layer called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like center known as the nucleus pulposus. They help cushion the spine, allowing for flexibility and movement while preventing damage to the vertebrae during physical activities.
