The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
A paracentral posterior disk protrusion at the T12-L1 level refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disk that is located towards the center and posteriorly, which can encroach upon the spinal canal. This type of protrusion can exert pressure on the anterior aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities. The condition may require monitoring or treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and the degree of nerve compression.
wide herniation that is larger at center mid-line pushing the disc out and beginning to but not yet touch or push on the thecal sac.
They are produced in the anterior pituitary and act mostly notably on the uterus
Epidermal means pertaining to upon the surface of the skin.
The Color of stars depends upon their surface temperature.
No. Only if you get sat upon.
The surface is the ground upon which the medium is applied. If you are painting with oils, you are likely using stretched canvas or masonite board as a surface. If you are drawing in pastels, your surface may be Canson paper.
Yes, the force that one surface exerts upon another surface is called contact force. This force occurs when two surfaces are in direct contact with each other and can be either a normal force, frictional force, or tension force depending on the nature of the interaction between the surfaces.
Emulsification of fats is necessary because a fat globule has large surface area for enzymes to act upon it. Emulsification reduces the surface area and then more enzymes can act upon it and thus can produce more energy.
An adsorber is a material, particularly a solid material, capable of adsorption - accumulation on a surface.
