Re: TERM NL>EN grond- en dekplaten - spine URGENT

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee:

you are not the only one looking in vain for these terms. Strangly enough,

neither Dorland's nor any anatomy books (including Gray's) seem to bother

with these two vertebral surfaces.

Some time ago, I had a similar German text with " Grund- und Deckplatten " in

the context of vertebrae and intervertebral disks. I believe, I used " basal

and apical plates of vertebrae " .

aangrenzende ***grond- en dekplaten***. Circumferentiële

disco-osteofytaire protrusie op deze niveaus. " etcetc.

What might these " base and cover plates " be??? I've exhausted my anatomy

books and drawings and no luck.

MTIA!

Hi Dee,

Astrid is right, of course.

Thanks, Astrid, for refreshing my memory :-). That was actually what I was

looking for - I just couldn't think straight yesterday (the lousy weather

here is clogging up my brain...)

Hi Dee,

Nöhring has " end plate " for Deckplatte (of a vertebra).

A model is shown on:

tml

I would suggest " inferior/superior end plate " . There are numerous hits on

Google confirming this.

Base plate does give some hits in this context but they did not fully

convince me, apical plate does not result in any reliable hits (in this

context), at least not in a language I can read.

Hi Uschi and Astrid,

You'll both be glad to hear that I did take Astrid's, although the link she sent

got me absolutely nowhere; however, I was able to find an " anatomy lesson " which

I alas! saved as an html file so I can't

simply give you the url any more, but I will send it to both of you with another

msg.

Our problem here was that we were looking for these plates as being part of the

bony structure of the vertebra, but they aren't that at all, as the text

explains, they are more like cartilage yet again its

eems [i didn't care any more at that point since it was 09:20 and the job was

supposed to have been delivered by 09:00 ) ! ]

Gotta finish another one and then I'll send it. For everybody, though, here is

the relevant section:

" Interposed between each pair of vertebral bodies are pads of fibrocartilage

called intervertebral discs. The outer part of the disc forms a thick fibrous

ring (the

annulus fibrosus) which surrounds and contains a soft, gelatinous center (the

nucleus pulposus). Between the disc and the adjacent vertebral bodies (above and

below) are thin plates of cartilage (the vertebral end plates). The discs give

the spine flexibility and act as shock absorbers. Since they are firmly fastened

(by

the vertebral end plates) to the vertebral bodies, the discs also help hold the

spinal column in alignment. "

Actually, here's the link [managed to find the site again]:

www.chionline.com/anatomy/anat1.html

Thanks so much to both of you, especially of course to Astrid!
