Hypertrophy refers to the increase of the size of an organ, which can often be detrimental. The inferior articular process is a part of the vertebrae, and as such hypertrophy in this location can be extremely dangerous.
Inferior articulating process hypertrophy refers to the abnormal enlargement of the bony projection on a vertebra that forms a joint with the vertebra below. Lamina hypertrophy involves excessive growth of the thin bony plate that extends backward from the vertebral body and forms the back wall of the spinal canal. Both conditions can lead to compression of nerves or the spinal cord, resulting in pain, weakness, or other neurological symptoms.
The surface of the superior articular will work right above the inferior surface in a vertebra. This is not true in the atlas.
Articulating facets of the thoracic vertebra.Transverse process.
Hypertrophy means overgrowth. The concha are the turbinates, or the ridged parts of the nose that swirl the air for warming and cleaning. Hypertrophy in the turbinates is typically a sign of rhinitis -- often due to allergies. A concha bullosa is a turbinate with air in it; about half of people have one.
The xyphoid process is the inferior sternal bony landmark.
There is no inferior process on any vertebrae, thoracic or not. There is an inferior articular facet. The inferior articular facet would articulate with the superior articular facet of the vertebrae just superior to it.
Hypertrophy.
Hypertrophy is the process of muscle cells increasing in size, leading to muscle growth. This occurs when muscles are subjected to stress, such as through resistance training, causing them to adapt and grow stronger.
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
The hypertrophy of the liver was causing the problem.
The term for a large rounded articulating knob is "lunate."
Muscle hypertrophy is the thickening or increase in the size of existing muscle fibers. This process occurs in response to resistance training or overload, leading to an increase in muscle strength and size.
