Superior T12 and T11 endplate compression refers to a condition where the upper surfaces of the T12 and T11 vertebrae are compressed, often due to trauma, osteoporosis, or degenerative disc disease. This compression can lead to a decrease in vertebral height, potentially causing pain, nerve compression, or spinal instability. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs, and treatment options may range from conservative management, such as physical therapy, to surgical intervention in more severe cases.
Herniation of the nucleus pulposus.
Wedge compression deformity at T11 and T12 refers to a condition where the vertebral bodies of the thoracic spine become compressed and wedge-shaped. This can result in a decrease in the height of the front of the vertebrae, leading to a forward curvature of the spine. It is often associated with osteoporosis or trauma to the spine.
The inferior surface of the T11 vertebra articulates with the superior surface of the T12 vertebra below it, forming a facet joint that allows for movement and stability of the thoracic spine. This articulation plays a role in supporting the torso and facilitating movement in the mid-back region.
T11-12 and T12-L1 refer to the intervertebral disc spaces and the adjacent vertebrae in the thoracic and lumbar spine. T11-12 indicates the space between the 11th thoracic vertebra (T11) and the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12), while T12-L1 indicates the space between the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12) and the 1st lumbar vertebra (L1). These designations are important for assessing disc health, potential herniation, and other spinal conditions in those specific regions.
IAsk your physician to explain it to you in detail, but basically it means that magnetic resonance imaging of a part of [someone's] spine showed a problem in the spine, specifically right around and/or just above the top of the small of the back, related to an unusually large growth there.
The T11 vertebra is located in the middle of the thoracic spine, which is the region of the spine in the mid-back area. It is two levels below the last rib and one level above the T12 vertebra.
These are the names given to the bottom of the thoracic vertebrae. Attached to these two bertebrae are the floating ribs.
Hahahah no. But there are 4 floating ribs (2 each side). These are the bottom of the 12. Their posterior attachment is to T11 and T12 and they have no anterior atachment, they are not connected to the sternum by cartilage.
It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.
The superior phrenic arteries are small blood vessels that branch off from the thoracic aorta, typically arising near the level of the T12 vertebra. They primarily supply blood to the diaphragm, particularly its superior surface. These arteries play a role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the diaphragm, which is essential for its function in respiration. Each superior phrenic artery usually accompanies the phrenic nerve as it reaches the diaphragm.
The only difference between Y12 and T12 is the Kilos per meter. In a Y12 there is 0.888 Kilos and a T12 bar has 0.612 Kilos.
T12 and F12 tubes have different diameters - T12 tubes are 1.5 inches in diameter while F12 tubes are 1 inch in diameter. They are not interchangeable because they have different fixtures and ballasts. T12 tubes are being phased out due to energy efficiency regulations.
