Mri: "there is a small chronic schmorl's node indenting the superior endplate of t5." what does this mean?

Vertebrae : Are like building blocks. With top-superior and bottom inferior surfaces= end plates. The space between vertebrae are discs- like the mortar in stone walls. The disc has a circumference which can break- ruptured disc. Or a segment can protrude up or down- schmorl's node into vertebrae due to deterioration of spine . Most are not symptomatic.
