Epiphyseal plate

The adult skeletal system has 206 bones,well as the network of many tendons, ligaments and cartilage. They perform many of functions in your body, it supports, creates movement, protection, your blood cell production, your calcium storage and the endocrine regulation. Bones in our body support us and protect us. The bones of the legs, pelvis, Are back hold up the body to maintain are posture, the jaw supports the teeth, mostly all the bones in our body support our muscles and tendons in…

1.) Susan is postmenopausal, so there is a higher risk for osteoporosis. She is also not on hormone replacement therapy. Estrogen helps preserve bone mass by inhibiting bone dissolving action of the osteoclast. However, Susan is also active and exercises regularly, so she is less likely to have osteoporosis. Other factors such as bone cancer could have led to the weakening of her bones. 2.) If Susan had bone cancer, the CT scan would reveal the presence of a tumor. The densitometry scan would…

1. Describe Ossification during Fetal Development. During the fetal development the first stage of the “bones” is cartilage which resembles bones but is more flexible due to the lack of calcium salts as it develops calcium salts are deposit into it all through until after it is born to life. As a result, the process of gradual replacement of immature bone cells and calcium deposits is called Ossification. 2. What are the roles of Osteoclasts in bone formation? The roles of Osteoclasts in bone…

• Describe ossification in fetal development. During development, the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone…

1. I diagnose the patient as having slipped capital femoral epiphysis. I believe her condition is stable, but will worsening if not treated. She claims that the pains come and go, especially after engaging in physical activity, but two weeks after going to the doctor, she is unable to lift herself out of the pool. She needs assistance from her father. Her lower leg is also laterally rotated. She is a 10 year- old girl who is very active, but still obese for her age, weighing 135 lbs. “Slipped…

it would be the opposite, meaning that the process was inhibited late, making the extra bone deposits form where Lobster Man has his exoskeleton. The spicules of bone placed in this area from overproduction could have gone on to form these bone plates. Also, there would be a mutation in Ihh, the bone morphogenic proteins and fibroblast growth factor 18, making the bones form (Ortega, Behonick, & Werb,…

articicular cartilage, covers the joint surface and reduces friction from the joints. The metaphysis is the area in an older bone in between the diaphysis and the epiphysis. The metaphysis area contains the epiphyseal plate or the growth plate. Whenever the bone is done growing the plate turns into the epiphyseal line. The bones are covered by a tough layer called the periosteum. The inside of the bone is covered by an internal layer called the endosteum. The bones are highly vascularized due to…

the lower patellar pole of the patella . The patella is connected to the tibia by the patellar tendon. When we are in the process of growing, the tendon attaches to a growth plate (or epiphyseal plate) located at the base of the kneecap. Repeated stress on the patellar tendon as a result of sports, it can cause the growth plate to become irritated and inflamed. Treatment The treatment that tells the medical team , will focused primarily on: Apply ice to the area before and after exercise (…

of the elongation, the medullary cavity is formed. In the fifth step, the spongy bone is formed in a similar way that the compact bone is formed in step three. At the end of the formation hyaline carriage is left on the ends of the bones and epiphyseal plates…

Bone Repair Broken or fracture bone have four (4) stages to repair. 1.Hemata formation - due to fractured bone, the blood vessels are also ruptured and caused hematoma formation and inflammation. This allow clotting process and bone cells die at the broken ends. These dead bone cells are remove by osteoclasts. 2.Bone generation - phagocytic cells clear away the dead cells and capillaries grow again. Fibroblast produce collagen fibers that connect the broken bone ends, while osteoblasts start…
