Each ligamentum flavum connects the laminae of two adjacent vertebrae. [2] [3] They attach to the anterior portion of the upper lamina above, and the posterior portion of the lower lamina below. [1] They begin with the junction of the axis and third cervical vertebra, continuing down to the junction of the 5th lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. [2 ...
From a clinical standpoint, denticulate ligaments do not play a significant role in lumbar spinal stenosis when compared to issues such as disc herniations, facet hypertrophy, shape of spinal canal, size of spinal canal, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, or degenerative joint disease resulting in bony osteophyte formation.

ligamentum arteriosum: extra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein: ligamentum teres hepatis (the "round ligament of the liver"). intra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein (the ductus venosus) ligamentum venosum: distal portions of the fetal left and right umbilical arteries: medial umbilical ligaments
Structural diagram of the cochlea showing how fluid pushed in at the oval window moves, deflects the cochlear partition, and bulges back out at the round window. The cochlea ( pl. : cochleae) is a spiraled, hollow, conical chamber of bone, in which waves propagate from the base (near the middle ear and the oval window ) to the apex (the top or ...
The middle ear is the portion of the ear medial to the eardrum, and distal to the oval window of the cochlea (of the inner ear). The mammalian middle ear contains three ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes), which transfer the vibrations of the eardrum into waves in the fluid and membranes of the inner ear .
Fluid in the Ear The most common cause of fluid in the ear is an infection, but it can also be caused by other medical conditions. If you have ever had an earache, you know how painful and ...
The evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles was an evolutionary process that resulted in the formation of the mammalian middle ear, where the three middle ear bones or ossicles, namely the incus, malleus and stapes (a.k.a. "the anvil, hammer, and stirrup"), are a defining characteristic of mammals.
