Why epiphyseal closes early?
estrogen directly causes the epiphyseal plates to close, testosterone is converted to estradiol (estrogen) by aromatase, therefore testosterone causes the epiphyseal plates to close indirectly
When does Epiphyseal Plate close?
Epiphyseal plates close after puberty. This because your body begins to produce testosterone, which is in turn converted into estrogen, which is responsible for the closing of the growth plate or Epiphyseal Plate. So it differs from person to person, if you have gone through puberty then your growth plates are developed.
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
Why are eunuchs taller?
Eunuchs were tall due to early castration before puberty. The closure of the epiphyses or bone growth plates are due to the hormone estrogen. In males estrogen is produced by chemically altering the hormone testosterone. Since the Eunuchs were castrated before puberty, they were not producing testosterone and thus had low levels of estrogen. This low level of estrogen meant that the growth plates would not close as early leading to tall growth patterns.
When production of sex hormones increases what happens to bone growth?
When the production of sex hormones increases, both growth also increases. This is why, when a child hits puberty, they normally have a growth spurt.
How tall will a female grow to be if she is 165 m tall at 17 years of age?
It all depends on the onset of puberty. A female will typically continue to grow 2-3 years after he first period. The hormone estrogen which is secreted in higher amounts once the first period starts, begins the closure of growth plates located in our bones. Once the growth plates close completely, growth in height ceases.
What is the cause of japan's tsunami?
An earthquake under the sea very close to Japan. Earthquakes are caused by the readjustment of the techtonic plates, and this is because the tectonic plates were converging into each other and since continental plates are more dense than oceanic plates the oceanic plates subducted into the mantle causing an earthquake under the sea. The waves slowly rolled across the ocean causing the waves to get larger as they were moving away from the focus point.
In the epiphyseal plate cartilage grows?
the epiphyseal plate is also called the growth plate. it is the area of cartilage between the diaphysis (the long shaft of the bone) and the epiphysis (the end of a bone). the cartilage will expand and go through a process called ossification and turn into bone. when a person is done growing the epiphyseal plate will turn into an epiphyseal line.
If My son evaded police in my car will that show up every time they run my plates?
Yes, if they got close enough to read the plates.
Will an increase in testosterone make you taller?
This would depend on your age (and more specifically: bone maturation). If one has completed puberty (excepting any estrogen defficiency/resistance) testosterone, or any hormone for that matter, will not effect height. Before growth plate fusion, however, an increase in testosterone ios necessary for a male to reach full potential height. However, the testosterone increase will eventually hault growth permanently (due to an increase is subsequent estrogen levels, which naturally will eventually cause growth plates to close). So, during puberty, yes the hormone will temporarily increase growth, until eventually: the inevitable end to longitudal growth.
What plate boundaries are close to Japan?
the Philippines and the Pacific plates border Japan
I am 15 years old and I am 5'9 almost 5'10 how much do you think I will grow?
Truth is you will continue growing until you are about 25 years old when your epiphyseal plates completely close. The rate at which you will continue to grow is anybody's guess. It will most likely slow down significantly. You are already average height for most adult males. Unless there is some kind of hormonal imbalance, I'm guessing you'll top out around 6'6".
