The intervertebral joints belong to what structural group?

The intervertebral joints belong to the structural group known as cartilaginous joints. Specifically, they are classified as symphyses, which are characterized by a pad of fibrocartilage that provides support and allows for limited movement between the vertebrae. This arrangement helps absorb shock and maintain spinal flexibility.

Can broken bones in spine be fused with laser?

Laser technology is not used to mend bones. The laser is used to separate tissue, much like a scalpel would. The spine is a column of vertebrae stacked one atop the other with a cartilagenous pad in between each one. If a vertebra is broken, it has severe consequences with regard to the spinal cord that runs down through the entire column of vertebrae. This is why breaking your back or neck is such a terrible injury. It cannot be fixed with laser, and often cannot be fixed at all. Vertebrae are very small and if they separate or are crushed, there are limited treatments.

In the Chip design flow to estimate the Chip Die size (means area ) how much is needed , could be pad limited or core-limited. After performing the padring of the chip(arranging of pads/pins), the scenario is such that the core area(logic area) is less then the die or chip is called as pad limited or pin limited design whereas if the core area or logic area of the chip is more than the pad area then the die-size of the chip is core-limited.

Which joint is present in the neck region?

The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.


What occurs when the cartilage disc between two vertebrae breaks and the pad inside slips out?

When the cartilage disc between two vertebrae breaks and the inner pad (nucleus pulposus) slips out, it can result in a herniated disc. This can lead to compression of nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
