Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
The main function of the discs is to provide cushion and a sort of filler for the crack between vertebrae.
in the spinal canal between the vertebrae.
No one bone protects the spinal cord. The spine consists of 33 bones called vertebrae, of which the spinal cord travels through the center. These vertebrae are held in place, or supported, by ligaments and muscles. Cushions between each vertebrae are called discs. So, essentially, the spinal cord is protected by bone, discs, ligaments and the muscles.
Discs
membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord
The spinal column is a bony encasement made of movable discs, which protect the spinal cord but allow for movement. If the spine is bent too sharply the spinal column or spinal cord can be injured. http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injuries/index.html
it indicates that there is interference with nerves passing between the vertibrea from the spinal cord. this is usually associated with wear and tear of the discs between them
To cushion your brain and spinal cord and provide nutrients for the brain. It is found in the ventricular system, in the brain and spinal cord and the subarachnoid space between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater of the meninges.
Nerve roots exit the spinal cord between the vertabrae.
Yes. Association nerve cells are found only in the spinal cord and brain.True
Because alot of the nervous system lies in the discs of your spine.
In human anatomy, the vertebral column (backbone or spine) is a column of 24 vertebrae, the sacrum, intervertebral discs, and the coccyx situated in the dorsal aspect of the torso, separated by spinal discs. It houses the spinal cord in its spinal canal.
