Cervical Radiculopathy Mechanism Chemical Nerve Root Irritation

The video tutorial explores the anatomy and function of intervertebral discs, focusing on the cervical spine. It explains the components of discs, such as the annulus fibrosis and nucleus pulposus, and their roles in spinal health. The tutorial highlights the unique aspects of cervical discs, particularly the absence of a nucleus pulposus in the upper cervical discs. It discusses how damage to these discs can lead to radiculopathy, emphasizing chemical irritation over physical compression as a common cause in the cervical region.
