Abstract
A continuous pressure-volume relation is determined within the nucleus pulposus of the human spinal disc by infusing saline solution. The data show that the nucleus pulposus has the properties of a tight hydraulic space in which a large pressure rise results from a small increase in volume and the opposite is also true.
