Epiphyseal plate

powerful eruption of a volcano in the past 500 years thats has struck Indonesia. The creation and eruption of Mount Tambora can be contributed to the interaction between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plate. The plate with higher density subducts under the plate with lower density. As the plate goes under, it melts and forms a magma plume and composite cone volcano. The eruption of Mount Tambora sent molten rock more than 40 kilometres high and blew out a cloud of ash that covered a million…

Volcanoes 1. “A volcano is a rupture in the Earth’s crust which allows magma/ash/gases to escape from beneath the surface. When magma reaches the surface of the Earth, it is called lava” (). 2. Volcanoes happen around the frame of tectonic plates, causing the plates to move away or crash into one another. 3. When material is much warmer than its atmosphere, and explodes onto the base of a planet or moon from the inside, a volcano occurs. Topic #2: What Causes a Volcano to Erupt? 1. Magma is…

Neotectonics in Australia. Abstract The cratons of the world that are located at a distance from plate boundaries are considered to be stable tectonically, but in real sense, they are subjected to regular disturbance that are less persistence and also of lesser magnitude than those that lies near plate boundaries, Nonetheless their manifestation can be seen in landscape. Neotectonics are post Miocene tectonic deformation on the earth surface. Its evidence takes expression in form of recent…

Northwest was hit by a 45 second, 6.8 magnitude intraslab earthquake called the Nisqually or “The Ash Wednesday” earthquake. The Nisqually earthquake occurred when the Juan de Fuca plate subducted under the North American plate, this quickly released the built up strain. This was caused by mineral changes as the plate moved farther into the mantle. The Nisqually earthquake hit the southern end of Puget Sound causing damage to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. Most of the property damage…

of the epiphyseal plate can increase in length with the diaphysis. When the epiphyseal plate closes, it is replaced by bone. The epiphyseal line appears and indicates that the bone has completed its growth in length. Cartilage cells are produced by mitosis and are destroyed and also replaced by bone on diaphyseal side of the plate. Zone of calcified cartilage contains mostly dead chondrocytes invaded by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, zone of resting cartilage firmly joins the epiphyseal plate to…

In mammals, longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate by endochondral bone formation. The growth plate consists of three principal zones: resting, proliferative, and hypertrophic. The resting zone lies adjacent to the epiphyseal bone and contains infrequently dividing chondrocytes. The proliferative zone contains replicating chondrocytes arranged in columns parallel to the long axis of the bone. The proliferative chondrocytes located farthest from the resting zone stop replicating and…

involving the growth plate in pediatric patients.1 It divides the fractures into five categories based on the extent of damage to the growth plate based on the mnemonic SALTER; type I: Slip or Separation of the growth plate, type II: Above the growth plate, type III: Lower than the growth plate, type IV: Through the growth plate, and type V: Raised epiphysis. Children have open growth plates until after adolescence, so this area is more susceptible to injury.1 Injury to the growth plates can…

As sports keep growing on the degree of popularity, bone fractures happen with an increasing frequency; there are six of the most major and the most common types of fractures. The first type of the six majors is called a Simple or a Closed Fracture. As defined by Robert, a Simple Fracture is, “a break in the bone that may be complete or incomplete, but it doesn’t pierce the skin” (Robert 307). This type of fracture on the average side, since it depends on the type of accident in a sport for a…
