What call to gaps between pedicles of the podocytes?
Filtration slits
Bony structures connected directly to vertebral body?
pedicles
What do the pedicles laminae and spinous process of the vertebrae form?
the vertebral arch
What is formed by the fusion of pedicles and lamina?
The vertebral arch :)
What structures make up the vertebral arch?
The pedicles, laminae and the intervertebral foramina form the vertebral arch.
What form the sides of the vertebral arch?
That structure is called as pair of pedicles. They go to posterior side from the body of vertebra.
What is Reactive bone marrow edema within the L5 pedicles bilaterally mean?
Reactive bone marrow is a polyclonal bone marrow response meaning that the bone marrow is overproducing one or more cell types as part of the immune response. Edema is swelling caused by the overproduction of cells. Pedicles are part of the vertebrae that make up the spine, the part which connects the body and spinous process. L means lumbar and bilaterally means both sides so it means that the reactive bone marrow edema is occurring in both pedicles of the vertebrae.
What is the medical term meaning a small tumor growing on a stalk?
Polyps are small tumors growing on a stalk.
What is gap between pedicles of podocytes called?
Filtration Slits. They allow water, glucose, vitamins, amino acids, small plamsa proteins, ammonia, urea, and ions to pass.
Where is the formina?
vertebrae Inter means "between", vertebral obviously means vertebrae as mentioned above, and foramina is plural for foramen, which is a hole. Intervertebral foramina are formed in the space between two vertebrae. When two or more vertebral bones are stacked, the intervertebral foramina would be inferior to the pedicles of the superior vertebrae and superior to the pedicles of the inferior vertebrae. It will create a hole that goes between the two vertebrae horizontally. The spinal cord goes through the vertebral foramen vertically, and the nerve roots slip out horizontally through the intervertebral foramina.
Does the spinal cord run through the spinous process?
Not really. The spinal cord runs through the spinal canal, which is anterior (in front of) the spinous processes, betwen two lamina and two pedicles, and posterior (behind) the vertebral body.
How many articulations are in the spinal vertebra?
There are four: one joint with the vertebra that is superior and one with the vertebra which is inferior plus superior and inferior processes (2) come off the pedicles. These articulate with the articular processes of the vertebrae above and below.
