What form of rheumatoid arthritis primarily causes inflammation of the joints between the vertebrae?
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the joints between the vertebrae.
What is marked bilateral facet osteoarthritis in the cervical spine?
The spine is made up of many vertebrae. These all have cartilage between them to keep your back flexible and to keep the vertebrae apart and allow particular nerves to pass between the vertebrae. osteoarthritis is the wearing out or damage of the cartilage between these vertebrae. This can lead to direct back ache and also interfere with nerves going to the various parts of the body.The cervical spine includes the top 8 vertebrae of the backbone.
What is the skeleton of the heart composed of?
This question is asking about the overall makeup of the heart and its structures which refer to its "skeleton":It consists of rings of connective tissue that surrounds the pulmonary trunk and aorta at their proximal ends. It provides firm attachments for heart valves and muscle fibers.
Flaps of connective tissue called valves are located between the atria and the ventricles?
TRUE
What does L5 nerves abutted by osteophyte in neural foramina mean?
As I understand it L5 is one of the vertebrae each vertebrae has cartilage between it to keep them apart and give them movement and protect them from wearing on each other. Neural foramina refers to the area where nerves from the spinal canal make their way out between the vertebrae to the rest of the body. If for one reason or another the cartilage or vertebrae is damaged you have a problem. in this case spurs of bone have grown (probably as a result of osteoarthritis) between the vertebrae. these spurs are touching and interfering with the nerves that pass between them. This can result in pain, tingling in parts of the body and other malfunctions. Spurs or osteophytes are formed as a result of bone being worn and damage control forming new bone to replace it, Not a good idea where joints are concerned.
What tissue occurs in some ligament attachments between vertebrae and larger artery walls?
Elastic connective tissue.
What connective tissue have pads between vertebrae that are shock absorbers?
Fibrocartilage
Dense connective tissue is to a suture as a periodontal ligament is to a?
The periodontal ligament is to a tooth as the dense connective tissue is to a suture. The periodontal ligament attaches the tooth to the surrounding bone and acts as a shock absorber during chewing, similar to how dense connective tissue stabilizes and supports the sutures between skull bones.
What type of connective tissue in between vertebrae?
The type of connective tissue between vertebrae is called an intervertebral disc. These discs act as shock absorbers and provide flexibility to the spine. They are made up of a tough outer ring called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner core called the nucleus pulposus.
What kind of connective tissue comprises the intervertebral discs between vertebrae?
The intervertebral discs are made of fibrocartilage, which is a type of connective tissue that has a combination of fibrous and cartilaginous components. This fibrocartilage structure allows the discs to provide cushioning and support between the vertebrae in the spine.
Is there any disc between S1 and S2 vertebrae?
No. The L5-S1 Intervertebral disc is the last disc in the spine because the 5 segments of the sacrum and the 4 segments of the coccyx are fused (though they are seperated from each other by a ligament).
What is the location of cartilage?
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found throughout the body, including in joints, the ear, the nose, and between vertebrae in the spine.
Where ligament is present in living organisms?
ligament are present in between the two bones
Which Vertebrae are between the sacrum and the thoracic vertebrae?
Lumbar
What are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?
They both are made of the same tissue called connective tissue which is very strong. They have different names because of where the are and what they do. Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.
What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
What is the function of the discs between the vertebrae?
Its primary purpose is to act as a shock absorber between adjacent vertebrae. Spinal discs also act as ligaments that hold the vertebrae of the spine together
