These spiders are famous for building their webs right across paths in the woods. They're pretty camera-shy, but I managed to duck low enough not to break this one's web, so it owed me a shot.
The spine, or backbone, contains intervertebral disc and vertebral bodies. These intervertebral disks are the soft tissue cushion between adjacent vertebrae of the vertebral column. Intervertebral disks work as a shock absorbers of the spine that allow for mobility.
