Image compression is a process used to reduce the size of image files by eliminating redundant or unnecessary information, making storage and transmission more efficient. There are two primary types of compression: Lossy and Lossless.

This synchondrosis occurs in the center, a gelatinous core known as the nucleus pulposus. Around the nucleus pulposus, which is a remnant of the embryonic notochord, is the cartilaginous ring (annulus fibrosus). The fibers of the annulus fibrosus are oriented in layers, similar to an onion, with their direction changing: vertically
