Spinea
Spinea is a town in the province of Venice, Veneto, Italy. It is within Mestres' commuter belt, and is crossed by the SP32 provincial road.
Spina bifida
Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. There are three main types: spina bifida occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele.
Spinal disc herniation
Spinal disc herniation, also known as a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings. Disc herniation is usually due to age-related degeneration of the outer ring, known as the anulus fibrosus, although trauma, lifting injuries, or straining have been implicated as well.
Vertebral column
The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine, is part of the axial skeleton. The vertebral column is the defining characteristic of a vertebrate, in which the notochord found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of bones—vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs.
Spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that causes changes in its function, either temporary or permanent. These changes translate into loss of muscle function, sensation, or autonomic function in parts of the body served by the spinal cord below the level of the lesion.
Spinal muscular atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy , also called autosomal recessive proximal spinal muscular atrophy and 5q spinal muscular atrophy in order to distinguish it from other conditions with similar names, is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterised by loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting, often leading to early death. The disorder is caused by a genetic defect in the SMN1 gene, which encodes SMN, a protein widely expressed in all eukaryotic cells and necessary for survival of motor neurons.
Arrow
An arrow is a shafted projectile that is shot with a bow. It predates recorded history and is common to most cultures.
The Spine (album)
The Spine is the ninth full-length studio album by They Might Be Giants. The album was released on July 5, 2004 in the UK, and July 13 in the US. The album was released alongside a companion EP, The Spine Surfs Alone.
Spine apparatus
The spine apparatus is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is found in a subpopulation of dendritic spines in central neurons. It was discovered by E. G. Gray in 1959 when he applied electron microscopy to fixed cortical tissue.
Acanthus spinosus
Acanthus spinosus, the spiny bear's breech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to southern Europe, from Italy to western Turkey. It is an herbaceous perennial growing to 150 cm tall by 60–90 cm (24–35 in) wide.
Campodarsego
Campodarsego is a comune in the Province of Padua in the Italian region Veneto, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Venice and about 10 kilometres (6 mi) northeast of Padua. Campodarsego has been recognized as a city and is part of the Camposampierese Municipalities Federation.
