The L5 is the fifth lumbar vertebra. The pedicle is an extension from it. Bone marrow is normally found in many bones and is a place where red blood cells are made. The edema is a swelling due to fluid and can be very painful.
See the link below for the anatomy of the vertebra and its' parts:

What creates blood in your body?
The spleen and bone marrow create red blood cells.
What bone marrow is responsible for the manufacture of red and white blood cells?
Think about it you have red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow, which one produces red blood cells? That's right red bone marrow (:
Where is bone marrow found within the body?
At birth, all bone marrow is red. With age, more and more of it is converted to the yellow type. About half of adult bone marrow is red. Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones, such as the hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the epiphyseal ends of the long bones such as the femur and humerus. Yellow marrow is found in the hollow interior of the middle portion of long bones.
What is the soft stuff in the middle of the bones and what does it do?
The soft stuff is called bone marrow, there are 2 types, yellow and red. Red is used in the body to create new red blood cells, and yellow creates white blood cells. It is usually transplanted to help someone who's own marrow stops functioning right and the new transplanted marrow produces the white blood cells to help fight the infection.
Physical diagnosis of pitting and nonpitting edema?
Check your patient's feet. Apply slight pressure on the top of their foot or right by their ankle with your finger tip for 2 to 3 seconds. Remove your finger and observe if a "pit" develops. It usually refills with fluid within 5 to 10 seconds of releasing your finger.
What is Modic-2 degenerative endplate changes?
Modic changes, a common observation in MR imaging, are signal intensity changes in vertebral body marrow, adjacent to the endplates of degenerative discs.Michael T. Modic, MD, professor of radiology and neurology at Case Western in Cleveland, wrote about these changes in the journal Radiology in 1988, and his name has been associated with these changes ever since.Modic changes take 3 main forms:Type I· Decreased signal on T1, and increased signal on T2.· Represents marrow edema.· Associated with an acute process.· Histological examination shows disruption and fissuring of the endplate and vascularized fibrous tissues within the adjacent marrowType II - the most common type· Increased signal on T1, and isointense or slightly hyperintense signal on T2.· Represents fatty degeneration of subchondral marrow.· Associated with a chronic process.· Histological examination shows endplate disruption with yellow marrow replacement in the adjacent vertebral body.Type I changes convert to Type II changes with time, while Type II changes seem to remain stable.Type III· Decreased signal on both T1 and T2.· Correlate with extensive bony sclerosis on plain radiographs.· Histological examination shows dense woven bone; hence, no marrow to produce MRI signal.MODIC CHANGES on MRIT1T2SignificanceTYPE 1¯­EdemaTYPE II­® (or slight­)Fatty DegenerationTYPE III¯¯Bony Sclerosis

Pulmonary edema is due to failure of which part of the heart?
Pulmonary edema is a result of a left ventricle failure or simply congestive heart failure which results in the heart not being able to remove fluid from lung circulation.

Think about it you have red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow, which one produces red blood cells? That's right red bone marrow (:
What are baseball player Buck Marrow's physical stats?
Buck Marrow is 6 feet 4 inches tall. He weighs 200 pounds. He bats right and throws right.
Where are the formed elements of blood created?
in the marrow of bones im pretty sure (blood vesels run through small holes in the bone) i heard this in science class and im probably right
What are the risks when the lower heart chambers are not functioning properly?
If the inferior chambers the left or the right ventricles is not pumping effectively edema can develop. When thinking of edema think of the blood flow in reverse. If the left ventricle is not pumping effectively there will be a build up in the left atria, the pulmonary veins, and the lungs this is known as pulmonary edema. When the right ventricle is not pumping effectively there will be a build up in the superior and inferior vena cava as a result of this build of a persons leg will be very swollen this is known as peripheral edema. I hope this helps
Is it right or left heart failer when the ventricles cannot pump enough blood through the body and fluid builds up to creating edema?
right side
How is the edema happened in right heart falier?
When an insult to the heart occurs- this weakens the muscle. The right side of the heart receives blood from both the inferior and superior vena cava as well as azygos veins- any failure to adequately pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation will result in symptoms like edema.

What does abnormal bone marrow signal mean?
When an mri shows abnormal bone marrow signals in the hip, there could be a number of causes. The causes vary based on whether the abnormality is in the red or yellow marrow. You will need to consult a physician to discuss the possible reasons for the abnormality.
