It's the invertible disc, It's a soft spongy material that cushions shocks down the spine. For example if you jump off something. They are a soft jelly like substance and can prolapse or bulge into the spinal nerve roots if you lift something wrong or have a weak disc. That happens when the fibrous ring that surrounds them has a weak spot. That's why you are encouraged to look after your back. It's worse than toothache if you get a bad back as it's involved in so much, like supporting your weight. A good way to look at the discs is on an MRI scan.

They're just spaces. Each space is supposed to have a cushioning disc in it.
