Blood cells in babies and very young children are made in the bone marrow of most of the bones in the body. As we get older, some of the bone marrow converts to yellow marrow, and just the bones that make up the spine (vertebrae), ribs, pelvis, skull and sternum contain...
The vertebral end-plate is critical for maintaining the health of the intervertebral disc. This paper reviews the literature that relates to end-plate structure and development and describes how disc integrity is affected by changes associated with pathology and aging. A range of studies, including ...
The lumbosacral spine is that section of the backbone which lies around the level of the lower back and hips. Within the spine, an individual bone is known as a vertebra, plural vertebrae. Vertebrae are generally divided into five different types and, from the top to the bottom of the ...
What is cervical disc herniation (CDH)?CDH occurs when a disc bulges out from between the vertebrae (bones) in your neck. Discs are spongy cushions between the vertebrae. The bulging disc may press on your nerves or spinal cord.What causes or increases my risk for a CDH?
Finally, the base of the vertebral column is where the sacrum and coccyx are found. The sacrum consists of five fused vertebrae and is situated beneath the lumbar spine between the two hipbones, holding them together. Alternately known as the tailbone, the coccyx consists of four fused vertebr...
