The axis also sits upon the first intervertebral disk of the spinal column.

In the spine, similar fibres join the intervertebral disk to the adjacent vertebrae.

The nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disk has no pain innervation.

Intervertebral disks may be shrunk or destroyed.

Doctors call them intervertebral disks.

Emerging technologies such as radiography gave physicians new diagnostic tools, which revealed the intervertebral disk as a source for back pain.

The back - the spine and its components, the vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, and intervertebral disks.

Postembryonic vestige of the notochord is found in the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disks.

The vertebral bodies are short and flattened with relatively large intervertebral disk height, and there is congenitally narrowed spinal canal.

In most cases, however, only the intervertebral disk is removed, and the bone or metal graft is subsequently inserted, allowing for healing of the vertebrae.

This risk may increase in the presence of structural disease, such equine cervical vertebral malformation or canine intervertebral disk disease.

Additionally they can be at risk for vWD, PRA, intervertebral disk disease, and allergies.

The vertebral bones or intervertebral disks can shatter, causing the spinal cord to be punctured by a sharp fragment of bone.

Now, a study in the current issue of Science indicates that one of the most common back problems, intervertebral disk disease, or sciatica, may be an inherited disorder.

Some of the back problems that involve intervertebral disks include herniated disks, torn disks, and ruptured disks.

Between each one of the vertebra is an intervertebral disk, or band of cartilage serving as a shock absorber between the vertebrae.

Vertebral osteomyelitis often attacks two vertebrae and the corresponding intervertebral disk, causing narrowing of the disc space between the vertebrae.

Additionally, cervical spinal fusion can be used to remove or reduce pressure on nerve roots caused by bone fragments or ruptured intervertebral disks.

In 1942, Yorck was posted to the Armament Ministry after an injury to an intervertebral disk rendered him incapable of frontline service.

In the seven known thoracic (chest) vertebrae, the articulations with the intervertebral disks are bean-shaped and much wider from side to side than from top to bottom.

The pelvic brim stretches from the lumbosacral angle (the intervertebral disk between L5 and S1) to the pubic symphysis and is the edge of the pelvic inlet.

The cushionlike pads between the vertebrae, called the intervertebral disks, dry out and grow thinner as people age, so that the vertebrae are closer together and the spine becomes shorter.
