The central canal is part of the human spine. When it is said that it is patent, that means that the openings of the spine area are open.

Describe how an osteoctyle located near a central canal can pass nutrients to osteocytes located far from the central canal?

The osteocyte near the central canal receives nutrients from blood vessels in the central canal. It can then pass these nutrients through gap junctions to neighboring osteocytes, which in turn pass them on to osteocytes located further away from the central canal. This process allows for the distribution of nutrients throughout the bone tissue.


What tissue are cells in solid matrix arranged around central canal?

Bone cells surround Haversian canals. Osteon (Haversian system) is the structural unity of bone. Spaces for osteocytes are called lacunae. The matrix is present in concentric rings called lamellae. Canaliculi are canals that join lacunae with the central Haversian canal (central canal)


What is the center of the osteon called?

It's called the Central Canal. The Central Canal contains Nerves and Blood Vessels.


What is moderate central thecal sac effacement and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis?

Moderate central thecal sac effacement refers to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord in the center of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal cord. Mild bilateral foraminal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal canal on both sides, potentially causing compression of the nerve roots. Both conditions can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas of the body.


What are the central canal and its surrounding lamellae called?

The central canal is surrounded by concentric lamellae forming an osteon, also known as a Haversian system. It is a structural unit of compact bone responsible for providing strength and support to the bone tissue.

It means the canal and foramina are normal in size and allows for nerves to pass through freely without restriction.


What is Central canal and neural foramina are grossly patent throughout?

This means that the openings in the canal and foramina are normal in size, thus there is no restrictions that would cause any nerve problems.

What does this mean C2-c3 patent central canal and neural foramen?

This typically indicates that there is no obvious compression or narrowing of the central canal or neural foramen at the C2-C3 level of the spine. "Patent" means that these spaces are open and unobstructed. It suggests there are no significant structural abnormalities in this area.
