What is rudimentary disc?
If you’ve clicked on this article, then congratulations buddy, because now I’m going to take you on a wild ride through the land of rudimentary disc. A place where nobody knows exactly what they’re doing but they pretend like they do. So put your seatbelt on and let’s dive deep into this topic.
Introduction
Alright so before we go any further with this messed up world of rudimentary disc, let me just give you a basic understanding of what it actually means. Rudimentary simply means something that’s undeveloped or in its early stage, while Disc refers to a round flat object. When combined together these words form an entity that most people wouldn’t even bother thinking about – The Rudimentary Disc.
What is this mystical creature?
Basically speaking, the term ‘rudimentary disc’ was coined by some really smart dude who probably had nothing else better to do at the time. But since he did it, we all have to deal with his creation now don’t we? In simple terms however,this particular phrase relates more specifically to vertebrates (animals) which possess spinal columns within their bodies.
Now every single one of these mammals has intervertebral discs which are placed between each set of vertebrae (the bones along our spinal column). These babies help support our spine and allow us to move around without feeling too much pain (unless you slept weird last night).
So technically speaking,’rudimentary disc’ basically refers to parts in our body that may not be fully developed yet when compared with others.That’s why anytime someone uses the term rudimentary disc,you should immediately ask them “Which part?” – just for funsies!
Let’s get technical
Now comes a part where things can get pretty complex folks! Brace yourselves!
Anatomo-functional differentiation
Anatomo-what? That sounds like some kind of long word one might find in a dictionary! It’s quite simple actually. The anatomo-functional differentiation refers to the changes that occur within our intervertebral discs as we grow older (kind of like Pokemon but not really).
Our early diseased condition is made up largely by water, and this gradually reduces over time leaving us with what is popularly known as degenerative disc disease. So if you wanna sound smart when people start asking about your disc just tell them how much it has been affected by the progression pertaining to anatomo-functional differentiation.
Herniated Disc
This is probably the only term that most of you are familiar with, and nope it’s not something you keep on trying for years before finally getting rid of. A herniated disc occurs when the outer ring (the ‘annulus fibrosus’) tears open allowing inner content/materials (such as nucleus pulposus) leak out into other areas.It leads to symptoms like back pain which can be avoided or mitigated via using good postures,exercising regularly or any other form of activity where abdominal muscles get involved.
And WHAT lead sorry?
Oh my bad folks,let me rephrase that.The condition may be caused due to activities such as lifting heavy objects,moving heavy furniture,powerlifting etc.However,sometimes simply growing old or having poor genetic makeup can lead ton rampant development…
…Of Bone Spurs
Yes,you guessed it right – BONE SPURS! Spurzy spurs anyone? This particular issue often crops up whenever vertebras experience increased friction between them and usually happens because all sorts chunks have started breaking away from adjacent bone structures,migrate towards neighboring spinal disks & then lodge themselves within parts initially undisturbed.Guess someone forgot teaching those vertebrae some basic table manners eh?
The different types
So there generally exists 3 types, rather stages where either protrusions,dehydration & or Fragmentation of whichever kind may be characteristics.You need to know about those types. Like seriously.
1st stage:Protrusion
A protrusion occurs when the fibers in our disc start breaking but they are still mostly intact overall (think two-thirds fibre) and thus form a small bulge on one side of each vertebral column.This can manifest through decreased flexibility and motor-neuron efficacy.
2nd stage: Prolapse
Now folks,when we talk about prolapsing this doesn’t involve any gross stuff coming out.There’s no need for that level of freakout-itude right now!We’re talking specifically towards clefts forming in between rings within our discs.Basically they’ve started leaking some starts material(Check Herniated Disc again). So prepare yourself for more pain.It shall hurt. A lot!
3rd Stage:Sequestration
If you’ve reached this point then good job,you kinda won half the battle(But only kinda)! In sequestration,the intervertebral disks have suffered intensively at work as inner materials have migrated towards neighbouring vertebras rendering your disk practically dead.For instance,it is what causes sciatica – basically lower back pain emanating from pinched nerves near spinal columns.
Funny Conclusion
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen,now its time to face the ominous danger looming upon all anti-spine knights.Just remember that none among us is fully aware which corner these rudimentary disks might pop up next,but every possible contingency must be made.Always keep proper posture while lifting heavy objects,eat well-to-rounded with adequate supplements + microelements,vitamin D intake & ample exercise daily,to keep avoiding painful trips down memory lane caused by degeneration related to chronic changes as we age.Keep going strong champ! Your spine will thank you eventually!
