Cervical stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal which protects the spinal cord.atients who present with symptoms suggestive of cervical stenosis are usually worked up with a neurological evaluation and a CT scan or MRI scan. An MRI scan is particularly good at evaluating the spinal canal, the spinal cord and the nerves coming and going from the spine.
The ribosome itself is highly complex. It is made up of dozens of distinct proteins (the exact number varies a little bit between species) as well as a few specialized RNA molecules known as ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Note â these rRNAs do not carry instructions to make specific proteins like mRNAs.
The small and large subunits join together to make 70S or 80S, respectively. Ribosomes really have two tasks: decode messenger RNA (mRNA) and synthesize proteins. The decoding function is performed by the small subunit and the protein synthesis part is performed by the large subunit. Talking to my scientist friends, I would call the ribosome a ribonucleoprotein complex, or RNP. That's a fancy way of saying that ribosomes are complexes made up of RNA (DNA's hipper relation) and proteins. Amazingly, the important functions of ribosomes aren't done by proteins, as was assumed for decades.
