a stem-like area on the back of the vertebra that connects the main part of the vertebra to the structures (e.g. the lamina) that project from it. Each vertebra has two pedicles.
The part of each side of the neural arch of a vertebra. The pedicle connects the vertebral body with the lamina.
pediculus = a little foot (dim. of L. pes = a foot); stem or connecting stalk of a tumour; bony process connecting the lamina of a vertebra to its body; renal pedicle = renal "stalk".
Part of the vertebral bone that extends from the front to the back of each of vertebra. There is one pedicle one each side of a vertebra (right and left). Surgeons frequently place screws in these parts to repair the spine.
a small stalk bearing a single flower of an inflorescence; an ultimate division of a common peduncle
a narrow bone bridging the front and back sections of a vertebra
a stem or stalk of tissue that connects parts of the body to each other
the thin, bony bridge that connects the vertebral body with the outer processes.
Projection of bone from the back of the vertebra that helps form the ring around the spinal canal.
The part of each side of the neural arch of a vertebra. It connects the lamina with the vertebral body. The first portion of the posterior spine arising from the vertebral body.
the stem that attaches some new growths of tissue
One of the two short stems of bone that project outward from the body of each vertebra.
Portion of the vertebra that connects the lamina (posterior part of the vertebra) to the body anteriorly and helps forms the walls of the spinal canal.
Tubular appendage protruding from posterior ventral valve or margin between valves.
bony process projecting backward from the body of a vertebra, which connects with the lamina on either side.
The bony part of each side of the neural arch of a vertebra that connects the lamina (back part) with the vertebral body (front part).
A particular location of the bone within the vertebral joint complex.
A bony growth protruding from the head of bucks. The antlers begin growing from the pedicle. Although the antlers are shed every year, pedicles remain on the buck throughout his life.
