What is annulus?

We all have cartilaginous discs that separate the spinal bones, or vertebraes, from each other. These discs allow for movement within the spine. Each disc has a fibrous outside, called the annulus fibrosus, and a liquid center, called the nucleus pulposus. Think of a disc as a jelly donut. The jelly is the nucleus and the donut is the annulus. If the fibers of the inner annulus tear, the jelly nucleus, which is tightly held in the center, follows the path of least resistance and pushes towards the wall of the annulus. When this happens, the wall of the annulus is warped and appears to bulge or protrude. This is known as a protruding annulus or ,in other words, a bulging disc. If the annulus continues to weaken and tear, the nucleus has potential to eject from the disc. The annulus will no longer be bulging, as the wall has opened and the jelly nucleus has squeezed out or herniated. This now constitutes a herniated disc.


What is the annulus on a mushroom for?

The annulus on a mushroom, also known as the ring, is a structure that helps protect the developing gills and spores. It is formed by a partial veil that covers the young gills as the mushroom grows. The annulus eventually breaks away from the stem as the mushroom matures.

What does multifocal bulging of the annulus fibrosis mean?

The annulus is a part of the spinal structure, specifically the outer fibers. When the annulus is damages, normally through aging (degenerative) or trauma, it allows the cervical disc, a gel-like material to expand. The more damage to the annulus, the more significant the bulge. In the worst cases, the disc "herniates" and may cause pressure on the nerve roots which run through the spine. In the neck (cervical spine), effected nerves run to the upper extremities. Therefore, if a bulging disc impinges on a nerve root in the cervical spine, it usually results in radiating pain, numbness and/or weakness in the arms. Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove the disc or otherwise relieve the pressure on the nerve root.
