Osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C5-6 is when degeneration of a disc causes obstruction. This obstruction occurs at the foramina at C4-5.

What is Central and peripheral Neural Mechanism of Emotion?
Central neural mechanisms of emotion involve brain regions such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which control emotional responses and regulation. Peripheral neural mechanisms involve the autonomic nervous system and hormonal processes that influence physiological changes in response to emotions, like changes in heart rate or sweating. Together, these mechanisms work in concert to generate and regulate emotional responses in the brain and body.
What is encroachment upon the neural foramen?
You have to look at the definition of the words to understand this statement. Neural refers to nerves. Foramen is an opening through which the nerves exit. Stenosis means that this opening is narrowed. The result is something we call a pinched nerve.
The lumen of the neural tube develops into the?
Ventricles & central canal of spinal cord
What is formed from neural crest cells?
central nervous system, spinal cord
Connects the brain to the spinal cord?
Nervous Tissue
Which part of our central neural system acts as a master clock?
the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus
What is a mild hypertrophic facet change at L5 S1?
Facet joints are the joints of spine which permit movement between to vertebrae Their orientation decides the plane of movement. As person ages this joints my suffer from stress and strain due to abnormal mobility or excessive mobility and this joints try to stabilize themselves by throwing bone around themselves in other terms they become hypertrophied. as they become hypertrophied they reduce the space for the neural canal and cause compression of the neural elements and are the most common cause of lumbar canal stenosis.
Almost fifty percent of the volume of neural tissue in the central nervous system is made up of what?
Neurons
Which neural center in the limbic system plays a central role in emotions such as aggression and fear?
The amygdala
What is the neural tube formed by the fusion of?
In the embryo the neural tube forms the central nervous system in the fetus, which is the brain and spinal cord. The reason pregnant women are given folic acid supplementation is to help prevent neural tube defects, which can range from fairly benign all the way to anencephaly (where the baby is born without a brain).
What is a neural tube?
The neural tube is the part of the development of the central nervous system in a developing embryo. What is pretty amazing about this is that within the first 4 weeks of development from conception, the entire framework of the central nervous system will have finished forming! Around day 18, the neural plate appears at the midline of the thickening of the ectoderm, the outermost layer of the germinal sac. Essentially what happens over the next couple of days is that the neural plate forms a depression, which eventually is pushed down and separated from the original cell layer by the fusion of the neural crests, resulting in the formation of a neural tube - this is rather hard to explain without a proper diagram!
