Hypolordosis means a reversal of the normal spinal curvature, and cervical refers to the neck, so cervical hypolordosis would mean the neck is not curved properly.

I'm assuming you mean the spine - The highest 7 vertebrae make up the cervical spine (or C spine) = the neck The next 12 vertebrae (where your ribs attach) make up the thoracic spine (or T spine) - this can also be referred to as the dorsal spine The next 5 vertebrae down make up the lumbar spine (or L spine) = the lower back And the sacrum is the very bottom of the spine made of 5 fused vertebrae.
What does multifocal bulging of the annulus fibrosis mean?
The annulus is a part of the spinal structure, specifically the outer fibers. When the annulus is damages, normally through aging (degenerative) or trauma, it allows the cervical disc, a gel-like material to expand. The more damage to the annulus, the more significant the bulge. In the worst cases, the disc "herniates" and may cause pressure on the nerve roots which run through the spine. In the neck (cervical spine), effected nerves run to the upper extremities. Therefore, if a bulging disc impinges on a nerve root in the cervical spine, it usually results in radiating pain, numbness and/or weakness in the arms. Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove the disc or otherwise relieve the pressure on the nerve root.
