25
Q

the vertebral end plates attach to

A

the disc and the adjacent vertebral bodies

26
Q

the vertebral end plates is important for

A

nutrition of the IVD

27
Q

the vertebral end plate is very () allowing fluid to enter and exit

A

porous

28
Q

is there vascular supply to the annulus fib and nuc pulp

A

no, avascular necrosis

29
Q

how do ivds get blood

A

from arteries coming into vert bodies, blood gets shoved in IMBIBITION

30
Q

what swell up when you have motion

A

proteoglycans

31
Q

what decreases with age

A

imbibition

32
Q

what part of annulus fibrosus gets sensory and vasomotor innervation

A

peripheral outer one third (so technically the 4 if you have 12)

33
Q

why don’t realize have disc problem

A

cause u cant feel it unitl it gets out to the lat 1/3

34
Q

what nerve innervates the posterior aspect of the annulus fibrosus

A

recurrent meningeal nerve

35
Q

what nerve innervates the posterolateral annulus fibrosus

A

ventral primary rami

36
Q

what innervates the anterior and lateral aspects of the annulus fibrosus

A

branches of gray communicating rami and sympathetic chain

37
Q

whats the nerve supply to the nucleus pulposus

A

non existent

38
Q

what do you see in xray

A

schmorl’s nodes

39
Q

what xray can tell difference between protrusion and excursion

A

mri

40
Q

where get ivd pathologies nad why

A

pll and all not cover posterolateral

41
Q

cuada equine syndrome

A

pushes through but still contained by annulus fibrosus and starts pushing on cord

42
Q

when nuc pulp push out first have () pain and then tweak to avoid () pain and when it hits nerve get () pain

A

scleretogenous, myetogenous, dermatogenous

43
Q

protrusions are still

A

contained

44
Q

lamens terms for hernia

A

slipped disc

45
Q

when nucleus pulposus breaks through and not contained

A

extrusion/prolapse

46
Q

what could happen if fragment break off and goes floating

A

sequestration

47
Q

bulge

A

circumferential concentric phenomenon, could be creep normal

48
Q

protrusion

A

nucleus pulposus has broken through some of the annulus fibrosis, but nucleus is still contained, encapsulated

49
Q

extrusion (prolapse)

A

nucleus pulposus has broken through all the annulas fibrosis. NO LONGER ENCAPSULATED contained

50
Q

sequestration

A

broken fragment of the nucleus dislodged in the canal

51
Q

palliative

A

when you are consciously moving into a position to relieve the pain

52
Q

antalgic

A

not aware that you are not standing properly (lean to left so say antalgic to left)

53
Q

if protrusion is medial to nerve root to and the pain they lean to side of pain

A

relieves the pain

54
Q

if lean opposite to side of pain and protrusion on medial side it would

A

increase the pain

55
Q

if have a disc issue at l4 itll affect () nerve

A

l5

56
Q

if you lean antalgic to the right and hurts on left and pain goes down lateral aspect of leg past knee to digit 4 and 5

A

l5 dermatome, l5 nerve so l4 disc hurt, so its ont LATERAL SIDE OF NERVE

57
Q

if the protrusion is lateral the patient wil

A

lean away

58
Q

most problems with disc usually happen in

A

lumbar

59
Q

what % of annulus fibrosus is proteglycans

A

20%

60
Q

poisson’s ration

A

when a tensile force is applied to a material that material will respond by deforming in length and compressing in width
